Question

A number times 12 is 72. which equation fits this statement?

Answer 1

12x = 17

Explanation:

So, this is a standard variable equation, so a number (I did x because I'm basic) times, multiplied by, whatever 12 = 72

So a number times 12 is 72 = 12x = 17

Now, if you wanted to actually solve this equation, you just have to do inverse operations:

17 ÷ 12 = 1.4167 (rounded)

So x = 1.4167

hope this helps:)
