X : 0.27 = 18.4

I have to solve for x.

x=4.968

4.968

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to set up equations like these in fractions. In this case it would be x/0.27=18.4

When we have a division statement and we are trying to get the variable by itself, we use the opposite formula. So the opposite of division is multiplication. Because we are trying to get the variable by itself, we would multiply both sides by 0.27

You can check your answer by plugging the number you got in for x.
