46=x

Explanation:

23=5/10 x
23=(cancel5^ 1) / (cancel10^ 2)x
Now multiply 2 both sides
23×2=2×1/2 x
46= (cancel2^1)/(cancel2^1) x

x=46

Explanation:

"to eliminate the fraction multiply both sides of the"
"equation by 10"

"note that "5/10x=(5x)/10

(10xx23)=cancel(10)xx(5x)/cancel(10)

rArr230=5x

"divide both sides by 5"

230/5=(cancel(5) x)/cancel(5)

rArrx=46
