The product of two numbers is 30. If one of the numbers is 15/, what is the other number?

2

Step-by-step explanation:

First set it up as a one step equation

15x = 30

Now we have to isolate x by dividing 15 by itself because the inverse of multiplication is division.

15/15 = 1

But that cancels out since x by itself represents 1.

Whatever you do to one side of the equation you have to do to the other

So 30/15 = 2

So x = 2

The other number is 2 if the given number is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the numbers is 15, correct?

Let the other number be x.

15 * x = 30

x = 30/15

x = 2.

Let's check:

15 * 2 = 30.

30 = 30.

Correct!
