To solve the equation 4.72(x−6.56)=10.4, the first step is to reverse the multiplication by dividing by 4.72. After dividing by 4.72, what number should be added to both sides?

Answer 1

To reverse the multiplication by dividing by 4.72, we need to divide both sides of the equation 4.72(x-6.56) = 10.4 by 4.72.

This gives us:

(x-6.56) = 10.4/4.72

To solve for x, we can add 6.56 to both sides of the equation:

(x-6.56) + 6.56 = 10.4/4.72 + 6.56

Simplifying, we get:

x = 10.4/4.72 + 6.56
