Hill is solving an equation for x

Question

. His second step is to divide both sides of the equation by 5. Which equation is he solving?(1 point)

Answer 1

To determine the equation Hill is solving, we can think about the effect of dividing both sides by 5. If we denote the original equation before the second step as:

$$5x=y$$

where $y$ represents the right-hand side, then when Hill divides both sides of the equation by 5, he will have:

$$x=\frac{y}{5}$$

Thus, the equation he could be solving is:

$$5x=y$$

or similar equations where the left-hand side is multiplied by 5. If you provide a more specific context or additional information, I could help identify the equation even further!
