Answer:
[tex]x = \frac{3}{8} [/tex]
and
[tex]2x = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x.
The product of 2 and the number x, is written as
[tex]2 \times x \: \: or \: \: 2x[/tex]
If the product of 2 and the number x is ¾;
Then we can write the equation:
[tex]2x = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
When we divide both sides by 2, we get:
[tex] \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{3}{4} \div 2[/tex]
This implies that:
[tex]x = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
This simplifies to
[tex]x = \frac{3}{8} [/tex]
Therefore the statements which are true are:
[tex]x = \frac{3}{8} [/tex]
and
[tex]2x = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
