Solve for x

: 65x=90

1 answer

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 65x = 90 \), follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides of the equation by 65:

\[ x = \frac{90}{65} \]

  1. 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).
