Sure! Let's solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the given equation step-by-step.
The given equation is:
[tex]\[ 3x = 5.1 \][/tex]
To isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex], we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3. This way, [tex]\( x \)[/tex] will be on its own on one side of the equation. Let's do this step-by-step:
1. The original equation is:
[tex]\[ 3x = 5.1 \][/tex]
2. To solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex], divide both sides by 3:
[tex]\[ x = \frac{5.1}{3} \][/tex]
3. When you perform the division, you find:
[tex]\[ x = 1.7 \][/tex]
So, the value of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] that satisfies the equation [tex]\( 3x = 5.1 \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ x = 1.7 \][/tex]
This completes the solution.
