Question

(26/x)=2 justify solutions of an equation (one variable)

Answer 1

Answer: x = 13

Explanation:

We are given that
`(26)/(x) =2` and we must justify the solution of the equation.

To justify we must solve for the variable, x.

We can isolate x, by first multiplying both sides of the equation by x, to cancel out the x in the denominator from the left side of the equation.

This results in:

26 = 2x

We can divide 2 on both sides to isolate x.

26 = 2x

/2 /2

13 = x

We get that x = 13

---

To double check and justify the solution we can plug in 13 as x back into the original equation.

26/13 =2

2 = 2

Showing that it is proven correct.
