Accepted Solution
In this example, we are seeking to solve for a variable within a division operation, where the dividend is 69 and the quotient is 30. The common variable 'x' is unknown in this situation. Thus, the equation is written as: \(\frac{69}{x} = 30\)
. We aim to solve for 'x' by isolating it on one side of the equation. Firstly, multiply both sides by 'x' to get: 69 = 30*x
. Isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 30. The final equation to solve for 'x' becomes: \frac{69}{30} = x
. Simplify this to find 'x', rounding to three decimal places if necessary, gives: x = 2.300
