Question

How do you solve `3=\frac{x}{18.75}`?

Answer 1

`x=56.25`

Explanation:

When solving equations with fractions, we can 'eliminate' the fraction by `color(blue)"multiplying both sides of the equation"` by the `color(blue)"value on the denominator of the fraction".`

`"multiply both sides by " 18.75`

`rArr(18.75xx3)=cancel(18.75^1)xxx/cancel(18.75)^1`

`rArr56.25=x" or " x=56.25" is the solution"`
