Question

x ÷ 62 = 123
Identify the first step to isolate the variable and solve the equation.

  1. Add 62 to each side.
  2. Subtract 62 from each side.
  3. Multiply each side by 62.
  4. Add 123 to each side.

hintHint:

An operation that reverses the results of the original operation to isolate the variable in order to bring the equation to its simplest form is known as the inverse operation.

The correct answer is: Multiply each side by 62.


    GIVEN-
    x/62 = 123
    TO FIND-
    1. First step to isolate the variable in the given equation.
    2. Find the final solution.
    SOLUTION-
    x/62 = 123
    Since we have x which is divided by 62 in the LHS, to isolate x, we will have to reverse the effect of 62.
    Hence, we will multiply both the sides with 62 to simplify the given equation and isolate the variable x.
    ∴ x = 123 * 62 .............................................. (Multiplying both sides by 62)
    ∴ x = 7,626
    FINAL ANSWER-
    Option 'c' i.e. 'Multiply each side by 62' is the correct answer to the given question & the final solution to the equation is- x = 7,626.
