Question

What is the value of x in x/3 = -0.6 and why?A.) -0.2, because to isolate x, you would divide -0.6 by 3B.) 2.4, because to isolate x, you would add 3 to -0.6C.) -1.8, because to isolate x, you would multiply -0.6 by 3D.) -3.6, because to isolate x, you would subtract 3 from -0.6

Answer 1

Given the expression:

$\frac{x}{3}=-0.6$

we move the 3 that is dividing the x to the other side multiplying to get the following:

$x=-0.6\cdot(3)=-1.8$

therefore, the answer is C
