Question

Which equation is not equivalent to the others?

zero point four x equals two point four
three x equals one point eight
zero point five x equals three
x equals six

Answer 1

A. \[0.4x = 2.4\]
B. \[3x = 1.8\]
C. \[0.5x = 3\]
D. \[x = 6\]

Solve for x by dividing on options a, b, and c.

Answer 2

but i dont know what x equals

Answer 3

for example, we will use option a.

0.4x = 2.4

to solve for x we need to use the division property of equality and do 2.4/0.4 to get x.

Answer 4

can you do that see what x equals to?

Answer 5

\[\large 2.4 \div 0.4 = x \]

Answer 6

is it b

Answer 7

b = 1.66666667

Answer 8

Yes it is b but you have it for the wrong reason.

for option a, x = 6 (2.4/0.4 = 6)
b, x = 0.6 (1.8/3 = 0.6)
c, x = 6 (3 / 0.5 = 6)
d, x = 6

Answer 9

sorry i meant 0.6

Answer 10
