\][/tex]

Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

x = 5.88
\][/tex]



Answer :

Certainly! Let's solve the equation step-by-step:

We are given the equation
[tex]\[ \frac{1.5 x}{7} = \frac{6.3}{5}. \][/tex]

First, let's simplify the right-hand side of the equation:
[tex]\[ \frac{6.3}{5} = 1.26. \][/tex]

Now, we rewrite the equation with the simplified right-hand side:
[tex]\[ \frac{1.5 x}{7} = 1.26. \][/tex]

Next, we want to isolate \( x \). To do this, we first eliminate the denominator on the left-hand side by multiplying both sides of the equation by 7:
[tex]\[ 1.5 x = 1.26 \times 7. \][/tex]

Now, calculate the right side:
[tex]\[ 1.26 \times 7 = 8.82. \][/tex]

So, we have:
[tex]\[ 1.5 x = 8.82. \][/tex]

To solve for \( x \), we need to divide both sides of the equation by 1.5:
[tex]\[ x = \frac{8.82}{1.5}. \][/tex]

Finally, performing the division gives us:
[tex]\[ x = 5.88. \][/tex]

Therefore, the solution to the equation \(\frac{1.5 x}{7} = \frac{6.3}{5}\) is:
[tex]\[ x = 5.88. \][/tex]
