Question

how does your answer help you solve a division equation such as x/7 =2 ?

Answer 1

dunno

I can solve it though
x/7=2
multiply both sides by 7
x/7 times 7/1=2 times 7
7x/7 =14
7/7 times x/1=14
1 times x=14
x=14


answer is 14

hmm, maybe multiply bottom number by the one on the other side of the equal sign

Answer 2

You plug in your answer for x and solve it to see if it = 2. So x=14. You plug it back into the equation. 14/7=2
2=2
Your answer is correct.
