To solve the equation [tex]\(5.5x = 17.6\)[/tex] for [tex]\(x\)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Start with the equation:
[tex]\[
5.5x = 17.6
\][/tex]
2. To isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex], you need to divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of [tex]\(x\)[/tex], which is 5.5. This will help you solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
x = \frac{17.6}{5.5}
\][/tex]
3. Perform the division on the right side of the equation to find the value of [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
x = 3.2
\][/tex]
Thus, the value of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] in the equation [tex]\(5.5x = 17.6\)[/tex] is [tex]\(3.2\)[/tex].
