To reverse the multiplication, we need to divide both sides of the equation by the number 10.
Wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's go through the correct steps to solve the equation 5/8(x-1/2)10.

The first step is to simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

(x - 1/2)

Next, we multiply the expression by 5/8:

5/8(x - 1/2).

Finally, we multiply the result by 10:

10 * 5/8(x - 1/2).

So, the equation becomes:

10 * 5/8(x - 1/2) = 0.

Now we can proceed with solving the equation.
Still wrong
Apologies for the confusion. Let's try again.

To solve the equation 5/8(x-1/2)10, the first step is to simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

x - 1/2.

Next, we multiply the expression by 5/8:

(5/8)(x - 1/2).

Finally, we multiply the result by 10:

10(5/8)(x - 1/2).

So, the equation becomes:

10(5/8)(x - 1/2) = 0.

Now we can proceed with solving the equation.
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?
To reverse the multiplication in the equation 4.72(x-6.56) = 10.4, we need to divide both sides by 4.72.

So, we have:

(x - 6.56) = 10.4 / 4.72.

To simplify the right side, we divide 10.4 by 4.72:

(x - 6.56) = 2.203.

Now, to isolate the variable x, we add 6.56 to both sides of the equation:

(x - 6.56) + 6.56 = 2.203 + 6.56.

This simplifies to:

x = 8.763.

Therefore, the number that should be added to both sides is 6.56.
What is the solution of the equation 8/9(x+1/2)=32/3 when solving for x.
To solve the equation (8/9)(x + 1/2) = 32/3 for x, we need to first reverse the multiplication by dividing both sides by (8/9).

Dividing both sides of the equation by (8/9) gives:

((8/9)(x + 1/2))/(8/9) = (32/3)/(8/9).

The (8/9)'s on the left-hand side cancel out, and we are left with:

x + 1/2 = (32/3)/(8/9).

To simplify the right-hand side, we can multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:

x + 1/2 = (32/3) * (9/8).

Simplifying further gives:

x + 1/2 = 12.

Now, to solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side. Subtract 1/2 from both sides:

x = 12 - 1/2.

This simplifies to:

x = 23/2.

Therefore, the solution to the equation (8/9)(x + 1/2) = 32/3 is x = 23/2.
To solve the equation 6.24(x+5.9)=20.22, the first is to reverse the multiplication. What number should both sides be divided by?
To reverse the multiplication in the equation 6.24(x+5.9)=20.22, we need to divide both sides by 6.24.

So, dividing both sides by 6.24 gives:

(x + 5.9) = 20.22 / 6.24.

Now, to simplify the right side, we divide 20.22 by 6.24:

(x + 5.9) = 3.243.

Therefore, in this case, both sides should be divided by 6.24.
What is the solution of 82.78(p+11.892)=72.8464 when solving for p. Do not round your answer
To solve the equation 82.78(p + 11.892) = 72.8464 for p, we need to first reverse the multiplication by dividing both sides by 82.78.

Dividing both sides of the equation by 82.78 gives:

(p + 11.892) = 72.8464 / 82.78.

Now, to simplify the right side, we divide 72.8464 by 82.78:

(p + 11.892) = 0.87996.

Therefore, the solution to the equation 82.78(p + 11.892) = 72.8464 is p + 11.892 = 0.87996.

To solve for p, we subtract 11.892 from both sides of the equation:

p = 0.87996 - 11.892.

This simplifies to:

p = -11.01204.

Therefore, the solution to the equation is p = -11.01204.
