since u need x by itself you need to divide 20 by 2/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
which equals 50 and that is a
OpenStudy (crystal_bliss):
Simplify 2/5x to 2x/5
2x/5=20
2 Multiply both sides by 5
2x=20×5
3 Simplify 20×5 to 100
2x=100
4 Divide both sides by 2
x=100/2
5 Simplify 100/2 to 50
x=50 50 is your answer

no there not wrong because the answer is 50 so it's A
OpenStudy (malikasif):
x =1/50 you can check it by putting x= 1/50 in the equation
OpenStudy (crystal_bliss):
@malikAsif so x= 50 1/50 is same as 50
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no you would check it by multiplying 2/5 by 50 which =50/1 not 1/50
OpenStudy (malikasif):
1/50 = 0.02 not equal to 50
