Use the given information to write an equation. let x represent the number described in the exercise. then solve the equation and find the number. if a number is multiplied by 20, the result is 32. find the number

  x = 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you to use the variable x for the number. Then the number multiplied by 20 is 20x. This result is 32, so the equation is ...

  20x = 32

This is solved by dividing by 20, the coefficient of x.

  (20x)/20 = 32/20 . . . . . . properties of equality require we do the same thing to both sides of the equation

Now, we can simplify:

  x = 32/20 = 1.6

The number is 1.6.
