Question

To solve the equation 4.72(x−6.56)=10.4 , the first step is to reverse the multiplication by dividing by 4.72. After dividing by 4.72, what number should be added to both sides?(1 point)

Answer 1

To reverse the multiplication by dividing by 4.72, we should divide both sides of the equation by 4.72.
This gives us:

(x - 6.56) = 10.4 / 4.72

To find out what number should be added to both sides, we need to subtract 6.56 from both sides:

x - 6.56 + 6.56 = 10.4 / 4.72 + 6.56

The number that should be added to both sides is 6.56.
