Question

divide both sides :divide both sides by what?
$2.4 \cdot 10 = 22x$
$\dfrac{24}{\boxed{\quad\quad}} = \dfrac{22x}{\boxed{\quad\quad}}$

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the equation

We have the equation \(2.4\times10 = 22x\), which simplifies to \(24=22x\). To solve for \(x\), we need to isolate \(x\) by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of \(x\), which is \(22\).

Step2: Determine the divisor

In the equation \(\frac{24}{\square}=\frac{22x}{\square}\), we need to divide both sides by \(22\) to solve for \(x\). So both the numerator and the denominator of the right - hand side fraction, and the denominator of the left - hand side fraction should be \(22\).

Answer:

We should divide both sides by \(22\). So the first box (under \(24\)) and the second box (under \(22x\)) should be filled with \(22\).
