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 multiply both sides of the equation by 12.

Here's how it looks:

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

This simplifies to:

\[ x = 72 \]

So the correct option is to multiply by 12.
