To reverse the multiplication, you should multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/8, which is 8/5. However, in this case, it is simpler to multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient 5/8, which is 8/5. When you multiply both sides of the equation by 8/5, you get:

8/5 * (5/8)(x-1/2) = 8/5 * 10

On the left side, the 5/8 and 8/5 cancel each other out, resulting in:

x-1/2 = 8/5 * 10

Simplifying the right side, you get:

x-1/2 = 80/5

So, the result after reversing the multiplication is:

x-1/2 = 16

To isolate x, you can add 1/2 to both sides of the equation:

x-1/2 + 1/2 = 16 + 1/2

Simplifying further, you get:

x = 16 + 1/2

Therefore, the solution to the equation 5/8(x-1/2)=10 is x = 33/2.

After dividing both sides of the equation by 4.72, you should subtract 6.56 from both sides to isolate the variable.

To clarify, the equation is: 4.72(a - 6.56) = 10.4

First, divide both sides by 4.72:

(a - 6.56) = 10.4 / 4.72

Simplifying the right side, you get:

(a - 6.56) ≈ 2.20339

Now, to isolate the variable a, you should add 6.56 to both sides of the equation:

(a - 6.56) + 6.56 ≈ 2.20339 + 6.56

This simplifies to:

a ≈ 8.76339

Therefore, the number that should be added to both sides after dividing by 4.72 is 6.56.

To find the solution for the equation 8/9(x+1/2)=32/3, we can follow these steps:

1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9/8 to eliminate 8/9 from the left side:

(9/8) * (8/9) * (x + 1/2) = (32/3) * (9/8)

Simplifying:

(x + 1/2) = (96/24) = 4

2. Subtract 1/2 from both sides to isolate x:

(x + 1/2) - 1/2 = 4 - 1/2

Simplifying:

x = 3.5

Therefore, the solution for the equation 8/9(x+1/2)=32/3 is x = 3.5.

To solve the equation 8/9(x+1/2)=32/3 for x, we can follow these steps:

First, let's simplify the equation:

8/9(x+1/2) = 32/3

To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 9/8:

(9/8) * (8/9(x+1/2)) = (9/8) * (32/3)

Simplifying:

(x+1/2) = 36/1

Next, we can subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation to isolate x:

(x+1/2) - 1/2 = 36/1 - 1/2

Simplifying:

x = 35/2

Therefore, the solution for the equation 8/9(x+1/2)=32/3 when solving for x is x = 35/2.
