Question

Which best describes how to solve the equation for x.

x/c = d

A. Multiply both sides by d.

B. Multiply both sides by c.

C. Divide both sides by d.

D. Divide both sides by c.​

Answer 1

B. multiply both sides by c.

Explanation:

To solve the equation for x, you have to isolate the x variable on one side of the equation. To do this, do the opposite of any operation applied to x to remove other variables from the x's side of the equation:

x/c = d

multiply both sides of the equation by c to isolate x:

(x/c) * c = d * c

x = dc

Now x can be solved for.
