Given the algebraic equation:
3/11 = x/700
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, what we can do is to multiply 700 on both sides of the equation. Multiplying 700 cancels out x/700, whereas we are left behind with the value of x.
3/11 = x/700
(700) 3/11 = x/700 (700)
x = 2100/11
x = 190.909090…
Since we have a repeating decimal, we can either designate it with a word repeating enclosed with a parenthesis, a dash line or an ellipsis. In our case to make our answer look concise, we sill use the ellipsis, to designate the repeating decimal.
Final answer:
x = 190.909090…
