(1 point)
x=

1 answer

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( \frac{6}{7}x = 12 \), follow these steps:

  1. Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of \( \frac{6}{7} \), which is \( \frac{7}{6} \):

\[ x = 12 \times \frac{7}{6} \]

  1. Now calculate the right side:

\[ x = \frac{12 \times 7}{6} \]

  1. Simplify \( \frac{12}{6} = 2 \):

\[ x = 2 \times 7 \]

  1. Finally, calculate \( 2 \times 7 \):

\[ x = 14 \]

So the solution is:

\[ \boxed{14} \]
