Answer: Possible answers:
- Isolating the varible
- Dividing both sides of the equation by 1.5
- x = [tex]\displaystyle \frac{y}{1.5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, "finding x" will be setting the equation equal to x. In other words, we will isolate the variable x.
To do this, we will divide both sides of the equation by 1.5. Sine the x is being multiplied by 1.5, the inverse operation of multiplication is division.
y = 1.5x
[tex]\frac{y}{1.5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1.5x}{1.5}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{y}{1.5}[/tex] = 1x
[tex]\frac{y}{1.5}[/tex] = x
x = [tex]\displaystyle \frac{y}{1.5}[/tex]
