Question

How do you solve `3x = 22\cdot 59`?

Answer 1

`x=432.66666`

Explanation:

In the past answer, the other person thought that the point between the 22 and the 59 was a decimal point, However it is not.

What I believe the question is actually asking is that they were doing a multiplication.

First solve the multiplication.
`3x=22*59`
`3x=1298`

Then divide the 3 on both sides to isolate the x
`(3x)/3=1298/3`

The final answer is
`x=432.66666`

P.S. If you were trying to make a multiplication sign, If you put xx in hashtags, it will turn to this `xx`

If that is what you were looking for, I hope I helped your question.
