Here we will show you how to solve 72x = 53. In other words, we will solve for x in order to find the value of x in this equation:
72x = 53
The goal is to get x by itself on the left side. First, we divide both sides by 72 like this:
|
| = |
|
When a numerator and denominator value are the same, then you can eliminate them by crossing them out:
|
| = |
|
Then you are left with x by itself on the left like this:
| x = |
|
Finally, 53 over 72 is the same as 53 divided by 72. So, we enter that into our calculator to get the final answer:
x ≈ 0.736
