Start by dividing each term in the equality by 10

This is the division property of equality right?

rvc · Answer

orelse send 10 to otherside which becomes division

anonymous · Answer

It's really simple. 10x/10=2/10 and yes

anonymous · Answer

What happens to the 10s on the right side?

anonymous · Answer

x equals .2

anonymous · Answer

No, the 10s cancel each other out and you are left with x=2/10 which you then simplify to get what?

10x=2 
x equals .2
10 times .2 equals 2
