What should be done to solve the following equation? (6.8)x = 34 multiply each side by 6.8. subtract 0.8 from both sides, and then divide each side by 6. divide each side by 34. divide each side by 6.8.

Multiply each side by 6.8. no

Subtract 0.8 from both sides, and then divide each side by 6. no

Divide each side by 34. no

Divide each side by 6.8. yes

x

step-by-step explanation:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
