Question

1. 2.4x = 36

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the variable x

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 2.4x = 36 \), we divide both sides of the equation by \( 2.4 \).
\[
x=\frac{36}{2.4}
\]

Step2: Perform the division

Calculate \( \frac{36}{2.4} \). We can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10 to eliminate the decimal: \( \frac{36\times10}{2.4\times10}=\frac{360}{24} \). Then, divide 360 by 24.
\[
\frac{360}{24} = 15
\]

Answer:

\( x = 15 \)
