Question

What is the value of x in the following equation, 1/5x = 10?

2

5

15

50

Answer 1

is it
\[\ (\frac{ 1 }{ 5 })x = 10\]
or
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 5x } = 10\]

Answer 2

It's the first one but without parenthesis.

Answer 3

okay.
So then you would do...
\[\frac{ x }{ 5 } = 10\]
\[\ 5(\frac{ x }{ 5 }) = 5(10)\]
\[x = 50\]

Answer 4

multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction and find x.
