Find the value of xx in the equation below.

Question

2, point, 9, equals, start fraction, x, divided by, 6, end fraction
2.9=
6
x
​

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 2.9 = \frac{x}{6} \), we need to isolate \( x \). We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 6:

\[ 2.9 \times 6 = x \]

Now we calculate \( 2.9 \times 6 \):

\[ 2.9 \times 6 = 17.4 \]

Thus, we have:

\[ x = 17.4 \]

So, the value of \( x \) is \( 17.4 \).
