To solve the equation 58(x−12)=10, the first step is to reverse the multiplication by dividing both sides by 58.
58 is 5/8
Apologies for the incorrect information provided in the previous response. To solve the equation 58(x−12)=10, the first step is to reverse the multiplication by dividing both sides by 58.

(58(x−12))/58 = 10/58

Simplifying the left side of the equation:

(x-12) = 10/58

Therefore, both sides should be divided by 58.
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?(1 point)
After dividing both sides of the equation 4.72(x−6.56)=10.4 by 4.72, we get:

(x - 6.56) = 10.4 / 4.72

To isolate x on one side of the equation, we need to add 6.56 to both sides to get:

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

Therefore, the number that should be added to both sides is 6.56.
