In this case, we are given a <strong>linear equation<\/strong> in one variable: 5X=305X = 30<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a <strong>multiplication equation<\/strong>, which means one number (X) is multiplied by another (5), resulting in 30. To solve for X, you perform the <strong>inverse operation<\/strong> of multiplication, which is <strong>division<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By dividing both sides of the equation by 5 (the coefficient of X), we isolate the variable: 5X\u00f75=30\u00f75\u21d2X=65X \u00f7 5 = 30 \u00f7 5 \\Rightarrow X = 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we solve for X, it&#8217;s good practice to <strong>check the solution<\/strong> by plugging it back into the original equation: 5\u00d76=30\u2714\u00ae5 \u00d7 6 = 30 \\quad \u2714\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That confirms our answer is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s look at the other options and why they are incorrect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A. 150<\/strong> \u2013 That would be the result of 5 \u00d7 30, not solving for X.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. 25<\/strong> \u2013 5 \u00d7 25 = 125, which is far off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. 0.6<\/strong> \u2013 5 \u00d7 0.6 = 3, not 30.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, none of these values satisfy the equation <strong>except<\/strong> for <strong>6<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding how to isolate a variable is a fundamental skill in algebra and helps solve more complex equations in future math topics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IF 5X=30.
