Question

What is the solution to the equation 1/24 x = 1/6? x = 144, x = 30, x = 18, x = 4

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

I'd suggest you write (1/24)x = 1/6 to avoid any ambiguity about the coefficient of x.

Multiplying both sides by 24 (the LCD) will eliminate the fractions:

24(1/24)x = 24/6, or x = 4.
