Pre-algebra????????????

Question

please help me answer this problem 1\5x = 121

please show step by step thanks

Answer 1

1/5x=121

If you mean (1/5)x=121, then simply multiply both sides of the equation

by 5

5(1/5)x=121(5)

x=610

If, however, you meant 1/(5x)=121, then multiply both sides by 5x

5x[1/(5x)]=121(5x)

5x/5x=121(5x)

1=610x

Divide both sides by 610

1/610=x

Answer 2

alright well this takes one relatively simple step and that is to divide each side by your coefficient which is the number in front of the variable, in this case 1/5. So 121 / one fifth is the same as 121 times 5 so ur answer is x=605
