to solve the equation 4.72 (x - 6.65) = 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

Question

_.

Answer 1

To reverse the multiplication by dividing by 4.72, the equation becomes:

(x - 6.65) = 10.4 / 4.72

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do so, we can add 6.65 to both sides:

(x - 6.65) + 6.65 = (10.4 / 4.72) + 6.65

This simplifies to:

x = (10.4 / 4.72) + 6.65

Therefore, the number that should be added to both sides after dividing by 4.72 is 6.65.
