Which of the following should be done to both sides of the equation x/ 12 = 6 to solve the value of x?

Question

Multiply by -12

Multiply by 6

Multiply by 12

Divide by 12

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{12} = 6 \) for \( x \), you should perform the same operation on both sides to isolate \( x \).

In this case, you should multiply by 12 on both sides of the equation. This will give you:

\[ x = 6 \times 12 \]

So the correct answer is Multiply by 12.
