Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 18 = \frac{x}{6} \), you can use multiplication to isolate \( x \).

Start by multiplying both sides of the equation by \( 6 \):

\[
6 \times 18 = x
\]

Calculating the left side:

\[
6 \times 18 = 108
\]

So,

\[
x = 108
\]

**Now, let's check the answer.** Substitute \( x \) back into the original equation:

\[
18 = \frac{108}{6}
\]

Calculating the right side:

\[
\frac{108}{6} = 18
\]

Since both sides are equal, the solution is verified. Thus, the final answer is:

\[
x = 108
\]
