Use the Division Property of Equality to eliminate the multiplication.
x=6.5
We are given the following equation.
6x=39
To solve the equation, we have to isolate x on one side. Using the Division Property of Equality, we will divide both sides of the equation by 6. This will eliminate the coefficient on the left-hand side of the equation and isolate x. Let's do it!
.LHS /6.=.RHS /6.
