Question 9%0D%0AA)Solve for x: 5/8x = 65(1 point)%0D%0Ax=%0D%0A%0D%0A=%0D%0A $$

Answer 1

To solve for x in the equation 5/8x = 65, we can begin by isolating x.

We can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/8, which is 8/5:

(5/8x) * (8/5) = 65 * (8/5)

This simplifies to:

(8/5) * (5/8x) = 65 * (8/5)

On the left side of the equation, the 5/8 and 8/5 cancel out, leaving us only with x:

x = 65 * (8/5)

To simplify further, we can multiply 65 by 8 and divide by 5:

x = 520/5

Finally, we can simplify the fraction:

x = 104
