To solve the equation \( x^{12} = 6 \) for \( x \), you should take the 12th root of both sides. This is equivalent to raising both sides to the power of \( \frac{1}{12} \).
However, since this option is not provided, the correct action among your given choices is:
divide by 12.
It implies isolating \( x \) on one side if you had something like \( x^{12} = 12 \), but in this case, you would rather not divide since it would change the equation.
The most straightforward option based on the choices provided would be:
divide by 12, as this is the choice that most closely relates to solving for \( x \).
On the other hand, for the specific equation, to isolate \( x \), the proper solution should involve taking the 12th root or raising both sides to the power of \( \frac{1}{12} \).
