Which method should be used to solve for x?
2.5 x=5.7
X is being multiplied by 2.5 so to undo that you have to divide both sides by 2.5 so x=5.7/2.5
Answer:
To solve for x in equation \(2.5x=5.7\) we should use Division property of equality.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the given equation \(2.5x=5.7\)
Division property of equality states when we divide both sides of an equation by same non zero number , then also both sides remain equal
Applying Division property of equality to the given equation
\(2.5x=5.7\)
Divide both sides by 2.5
\(\Rightarrow \frac{2.5x}{2.5}=\frac{5.7}{2.5}\)
We get,
\(\Rightarrow x=2.28\)
Thus, to solve for x in equation \(2.5x=5.7\) we should use Division property of equality.
