When rewriting a literal equation in terms of a specific variable, you may need to divide by which of the following options? Select all that apply.

Variable
Variable Expression
Number
Inequality Sign

Explanation:

In a literal equation, the specifi variable that you want to isolate may be multiplied by other variable, by a variable expression or by a number. In those cases, to isolate the specific variable you must divide by both sides of the equation to get obtain your variable alone.

This is an example of each case:

1. Another variable.

Equation:

Assume you want isolate x.

Divide both sides by y:

2. Variable expression.

Equation:

Divide both sides by the expression:

3. Number:

Divide both sides by 100:

Those are the three cases: a variable, a variable expression, and a number.

You will never divide by an inequality or equality sign.

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
