How would you solve for \( x \) in this equation:

\[ 0.85x = 200 \]

Asked by boblol

Answer (3)

Well, you would have to divide to get the answer. What you do to one side you do to the other. So, you would divide 0.85 by 0.85. and then you would divide 200 by 0.85. Then the answer would be estimated to 235.294.

The **value **of x in the equation is 235.294.
What is an Equation?
An equation is the statement of two **expressions **located on two sides connected with an equal to sign. The two sides of an equation is usually called as left hand side and right hand side.
The given equation is 0.85x = 200.
In order to **solve **the equation, we need the variable x on one side and a number on the other side.
0.85x = 200
**Dividing **both sides of the equation by 0.85,
0.85x / 0.85 = 200 / 0.85
x = 235.294
Hence after solving, the value of x is 235.294.
