What is the solution to the equation

x = 320

x = 5

x = 48

x = 32

x = 5

1/40 of x is the same x divided by 40, so let’s put that into the equation to get x/40 = 1/8.

Now, multiply both sides of the equation by 40 to cancel out the division by 40.

x = 1/8 * 40

x = 40/8

Now, just simplify.

x = 5

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
