How should you solve the equation x divided by 15 equals 60? What is the resulting equivalent equation? Choose the correct answer below. A. Divide each side by 15. Then simplify. B. Divide each side by 60. Then simplify. C. Multiply each side by 15. Then simplify. D. Multiply each side by x. Then simplify. E. Divide each side by x. Then simplify. F. Multiply each side by 60. Then simplify. The resulting equivalent equation is x=

C; x = 900

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write out the problem: x/15 = 60

2. Multiply each side by 15 to solve for x. This is because of inverse operations, so if you divide x by 15 you have to multiply 15 to both sides. THis way the 15 cancels out in 15(x/15).

3. Equation then becomes this: x = 15*60

4. 900

5. Substitute to see if you were right. Ask yourself: Does 900 divided by 15 equal 60. If it does, then you are correct.

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation
