-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:
`\textsf{4/3 = x/12}`

Find:
`\textsf{Determine the value of x}`

Solution: In order to isolate the unknown variable x, we need to multiply both sides by 12.

Multiply both sides by 12

• 
  `\textsf{4/3 = x/12}`

• 
  `\textsf{4/3 * 12 = x/12 * 12}`

• 
  `\textsf{4/3 * 12 = x}`

• 
  `\textsf{16 = x}`

The value of x based on the information that was provided is x = 16.
