which doesn't really mean "divide' it just means "write it "

Answer 3

i really dont get it

Answer 4

You want X by itself. So you have to get rid of the number next to it. Do the opposite of what you see. A number beside an x means multiplied by. So if you do the opposite - divide, then you will get ride of it, leaving X by itself. You have to do that to both sides.
