Question

5/6x=20 How do i divide this the correct way? or do I not divide?

Answer 1

what u mean @JazzyLuvsU123

Answer 2

u have to isolate the variable

Answer 3

multiply 6/5 to both sides, so that the 5/6 on the x side is gone

Answer 4

and then u will have x= 20 times 6/5 and then solve

Answer 5

x= \[x=\frac{ 6*20 }{ 5 }\]

Answer 6

thats one way to do it

Answer 7

Answer 8

1/24 is ur answer

Answer 9

Write the equation.
\[\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }x=20\]
Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient to isolate the variable (x).
\[\left( \frac{ 6 }{ 5 } \right)\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }x=\left( \frac{ 6 }{ 5 } \right)\frac{ 20 }{ 1 }\]
\[x=\frac{ 120 }{ 5 }\]
Simplify.
\[x=24\]
Tada.
