Solve for 3/5x = 24 (1 point)

x =

1 answer

The equation is:
3/5x = 24

To solve for x, we need to isolate x. We can do this by getting rid of the fraction 3/5.

First, multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/5, which is 5/3. This will cancel out the fraction on the left side:

(3/5x) * (5/3) = 24 * (5/3)

Simplifying this gives:

1x = 120/3

Dividing 120 by 3 gives:

x = 40

Therefore, x = 40.
