Exercise 7 Page 251

Use the Multiplication Property of Equality to eliminate the fraction.

x=72

Practice makes perfect

To solve the equation, we have to isolate x on one side. Using the Multiplication Property of Equality, we will multiply both sides of the equation by 3. This will eliminate the fraction and isolate x.

1/3x = 24

LHS * 3=RHS* 3

3* 1/3x = 3* 24

DenomMultFracToNumber

3 * a/3= a

x = 3* 24

Multiply

x = 72
