solve for 6/7 x = 12

Answer 1

To solve for x in the equation (6/7)x = 12, we need to isolate x.

To do this, we multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 6/7, which is 7/6:

(6/7)x * (7/6) = 12 * (7/6)

The 6/7 and 7/6 on the left side cancel each other out, leaving us with:

x = 12 * (7/6)

To simplify, we can divide 12 by 6:

x = 2 * 7

Multiplying 2 and 7, we get the final answer:

x = 14
