Accepted Solution
In order to solve a mathematical problem such as "52 divided by what equals 95?", we need to set it up as an equation, in which the unknown variable is most commonly represented as 'x'. So, we are looking to find out the number 'x' which fulfills this equation.
Setting the problem like this:
\( \frac{52}{x} = 95 \)
The task now is to isolate 'x'. This requires two steps:
First, we multiply both sides by 'x' to isolate 52:
\(52 = 95x\)
Next, to isolate 'x' alone on one side, we divide both sides by 95:
\( \frac{52}{95} = x \)
By simplifying the equation and rounding to the nearest three decimal places if necessary, we can calculate the value of 'x'.
\(x = 0.547\)
