Solve the following equation. You must show all work to receive full credit. 1/3x = 42

Answer 1

To solve the equation 1/3x = 42, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, let's multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
3 * (1/3x) = 3 * 42

This simplifies to:
1x = 126

So, the solution to the equation is x = 126.
