To reverse the multiplication, we need to divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient in front of the variable x, which in this case is 5/8.

Therefore, both sides should be divided by 5/8.

After dividing both sides of the equation by 4.72 to reverse the multiplication, we are left with:

(x - 6.56) = 10.4 / 4.72

To isolate the variable x, we can simplify the right side of the equation further by dividing 10.4 by 4.72:

(x - 6.56) = 2.20339...

To isolate x, we need to get rid of the -6.56 on the left side. Since -6.56 is being subtracted from x, we can add 6.56 to both sides of the equation.

(x - 6.56) + 6.56 = 2.20339... + 6.56

On the left side, the -6.56 and +6.56 cancel each other out:

x = 2.20339... + 6.56

To simplify the right side, we can add the values:

x ≈ 8.76339...

Therefore, the number that should be added to both sides is 6.56.

To solve the equation 8/9(x + 12) = 32/3 for x, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, we can simplify the equation by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 8/9, which is 9/8.

(9/8)*(8/9)(x + 12) = (9/8)*(32/3)

On the left side, we can cancel out the 8/9 and 9/8:

(x + 12) = (32/3)*(9/8)

Simplifying the right side, we multiply 32/3 by 9/8:

(x + 12) = 288/24

Now, we can simplify the right side further by dividing 288 by 24:

(x + 12) = 12

To solve for x, we subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

(x + 12) - 12 = 12 - 12

On the left side, the 12 and -12 cancel each other out:

x = 0

Therefore, the solution of the equation 8/9(x + 12) = 32/3 when solving for x is x = 0.

To solve the equation 8/9(x + 1/2) = 32/3 for x, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, we can simplify the equation by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 8/9, which is 9/8.

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

On the left side, we can cancel out the 8/9 and 9/8:

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

Simplifying the right side, we multiply 32/3 by 9/8:

(x + 1/2) = 288/24

Now, we can simplify the right side further by dividing 288 by 24:

(x + 1/2) = 12/1

To solve for x, we subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation:

(x + 1/2) - 1/2 = 12/1 - 1/2

On the left side, the 1/2 and -1/2 cancel each other out:

x = 11/2

Therefore, the solution of the equation 8/9(x + 1/2) = 32/3 when solving for x is x = 11/2.

Apologies for the mistake.

To solve the equation 8/9(x + 1/2) = 32/3 for x, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, let's simplify the left side of the equation by applying the distributive property:

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

Multiplying 8/9 by x and 8/9 by 1/2:

8/9 * x + 4/9 = 32/3

Next, let's get rid of the fraction by multiplying the entire equation by the reciprocal of 8/9, which is 9/8:

(9/8)(8/9 * x + 4/9) = (9/8)(32/3)

On the left side, the 8/9 and 9/8 cancel each other out:

(x) + (9/8)(4/9) = (9/8)(32/3)

Simplifying the right side:

(x) + 4/8 = 36/8

Combining like terms:

x + 1/2 = 9/2

To isolate x, we subtract 1/2 from both sides:

x + 1/2 - 1/2 = 9/2 - 1/2

On the left side, the 1/2 and -1/2 cancel each other out:

x = 8/2

Simplifying the right side:

x = 4

Therefore, the solution to the equation 8/9(x + 1/2) = 32/3 when solving for x is x = 4.

Apologies for the continued mistake.

To solve the equation 8/9(x + 1/2) = 32/3 for x, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, let's simplify the left side of the equation by applying the distributive property:

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

Multiplying 8/9 by x and 8/9 by 1/2:

8/9 * x + 4/18 = 32/3

Simplifying the right side:

8/9x + 2/9 = 32/3

To get rid of the fraction, we can multiply the entire equation by the reciprocal of 8/9, which is 9/8:

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

On the left side, the 8/9 and 9/8 cancel each other out:

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

Simplifying the right side:

x + 2/8 = 36/8

Combining like terms:

x + 1/4 = 9/2

To isolate x, we subtract 1/4 from both sides:

x + 1/4 - 1/4 = 9/2 - 1/4

On the left side, the 1/4 and -1/4 cancel each other out:

x = 9/2 - 1/4

To simplify the right side:

x = 18/4 - 1/4

x = 17/4

Therefore, the solution to the equation 8/9(x + 1/2) = 32/3 when solving for x is x = 17/4.
