Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x^{12} = 6 \) for \( x \), you should take the twelfth root of both sides. However, if we strictly look at the choices you provided, the goal is to isolate \( x \).

To isolate \( x \), you need to divide both sides of the equation by 12 (the exponent).

So the correct response is:

divide by 12
