Which literal equation is equivalent to 1.4 = kx

A. k= x divided by 1.4


B. x= 1.4 multiplied by k


C. k= 1.4 divided by x


D. x= k divided by 1.4

Please explain how to get the answer I really don't get it.

Answer 1

lets divide both sides by x:
so we will get 1.4 = kx => kx/x=1.4/x => k=1.4/x

Answer 2

lets divide both sides by k: kx/k=1.4/k => x=1.4/k

Answer 3

Why do I divide k and x on both sides? And how is that possible

Answer 4

well so in basic form:

ab=c =>
a=c/b
b=c/a
ab-c=0
