Part A: If (26)x = 1, what is the value of x? Explain your answer. (5 points)


Part B: If (50)x = 1, what are the possible values of x? Explain your answer. (5 points)

Answer 1

A) x =
`(1)/(26)`

B) x =
`(1)/(50)`

part A:

`\hookrightarrow \sf (26)x = 1`

`\hookrightarrow \sf x = (1)/(26)`

part B:

`\hookrightarrow \sf {(50)x = 1}`

`\hookrightarrow \sf x = (1)/(50)`

`\hookrightarrow \sf x = 0.02`

• changing sides, changes multiplication to division.
