Question

Which of the following shows the correct way to solve for x in the equation 4x = 24?

A
a. 4x over 4 equals 24 times 4

B
4x minus 4 equals 24 minus 4

C
4x times 4 equals 24 times 4

D
4x over 4 equals 24 over 4

Answer 1

The correct way to solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 4x = 24 \) is to divide both sides of the equation by 4. This is shown in option D:

**D**
\( \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{24}{4} \)

This simplifies to:

\( x = 6 \)

So the correct answer is D.
