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

Yeaaaaa😀😀

Answer 2

To solve the equation \( 4.72(x - 6.56) = 10.4 \), we first divide both sides by \( 4.72 \):

\[
x - 6.56 = \frac{10.4}{4.72}
\]

Next, we need to calculate \( \frac{10.4}{4.72} \):

\[
\frac{10.4}{4.72} \approx 2.207
\]

Now, we have:

\[
x - 6.56 \approx 2.207
\]

To isolate \( x \), we need to add \( 6.56 \) to both sides:

\[
x \approx 2.207 + 6.56
\]

Thus, the number that should be added to both sides is \( 6.56 \).
