Question

What is the solution to the equation x\4 = 16?x = 8x = 64x = 4x = 12

Answer 1

In order to solve the equation for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4.

This way, the denominator in the left side will be canceled out and we will find the value of x.

So we have:

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(4)=16\\ \\ (x)/(4)\cdot4=16\cdot4\\ \\ x=64 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the correct option is the second one.
