Solving this equation 6x=23

OpenStudy (baby_bear69):

divide 6 from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. So it is 6x which is 6 times x right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes... we simply have to divide 6 from both sides. We would then get \[x = 3.83\]

Hope this helped! Have a great day! @gabby1214

OpenStudy (gabby1214):

But don't you times both sides?

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

6 is being multiplied into x. To cancel it out you have to divide 6 on both sides.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

division is the opposite of multiplication
