Question

divide both sides: divide both sides by what?
( \frac{55x}{square} = \frac{29}{square} )

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the coefficient of x

The left side has \( 55x \) over a blank, and we want to solve for \( x \). To isolate \( x \), we need to divide both sides by the coefficient of \( x \), which is 55.

Step2: Divide both sides by 55

So we divide the left side \( \frac{55x}{\boxed{55}} \) and the right side \( \frac{29}{\boxed{55}} \) (assuming the original equation was \( 55x = 29 \), though the full equation context might be missing, but from the structure, dividing by 55 makes sense to solve for \( x \)).

Answer:

The number to divide both sides by is 55, so the first blank is 55 and the second blank (if solving \( 55x = 29 \)) would be 55 (i.e., \( \frac{55x}{55}=\frac{29}{55} \)). So the first box (divide by) is 55.
