Starting with the equation:
[tex]\frac{x}{4.6}=3.5[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 4.6:
[tex]\frac{x}{4.6}\cdot4.6=3.5\cdot4.6[/tex]
Simplify the left hand side:
[tex]x=3.5\cdot4.6[/tex]
Simplify the right hand side:
[tex]x=16.1[/tex]
The answer is: 16.1.
To check your answer, substitute x=16.1 into the first equaton to see if you obtain the same number in both sides:
[tex]\frac{16.1}{4.6}=3.5[/tex]
Simplify the left hand side:
[tex]3.5=3.5[/tex]
