Question

12. Brandon has 132 petunia plants and 6 planters.

He and his helpers will put x plants in each planter and have none left over. Which of Brandon's three helpers, if any, correctly guessed how many plants are to be planted in each planter? Use the
equation 6x = 132.

Answer 1

6x=132

think of it like 6 times X = 132

the opposite of multiplication is division so devide 132 by 6.

write it like x = 132/6
