What is the value of x. circle the correct answer. (show work you) 23x=115. a. x=7 x=5

23x = 115

x is being multiplied by 23, but you want x alone. Since x is being multiplied by 23, you need to undo the multiplication to end up with x alone. The operation that is opposite to multiplication is division. You need to divide 23x by 23 to end up with x alone. A rule of equations is that you must divide both sides by the same number. Divide both sides by 23.

23x/23 = 115/23

x = 5

The answer would be (c)
