Question

3/4x= 12, what must x be? x=16x=4x=3x=48

Answer 1

1) Considering that the coefficient of the x term is a fraction, we need to multiply both sides by another so that we keep with x on the left side.

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(4)x=12 \\ (4)/(3)*(3)/(4)x=12*(4)/(3) \\ x=16 \end{gathered}`

Note that, since we must always multiply or divide both sides when we do that we end up solving for x.

That's the answer:

`x=16`
