To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 65x = 90 \), follow these steps:
- Divide both sides of the equation by 65:
\[ x = \frac{90}{65} \]
- Simplify the fraction:
\[ x = \frac{90 \div 5}{65 \div 5} = \frac{18}{13} \]
So, the solution is:
\[ x = \frac{18}{13} \]
If you prefer a decimal form, you can also calculate:
\[ x \approx 1.3846 \]
Thus, \( x = \frac{18}{13} \) or approximately \( 1.38 \) (to two decimal places).
