Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 58(x - 12) = 10 \), the first step is to reverse the multiplication by dividing both sides by the coefficient of the term containing \( x \).

In this case, the coefficient is 58. Therefore, you should divide both sides of the equation by 58.

So, the answer is 58.
