\large\text{Hey there!}




\large\text{Guide:}


\large\textsf{Difference = Subtraction/Subtract}


\large\textsf{Number is unknown until we find it}


\large\textsf{Product = Multiplication/Multiply}


\large\textsf{Quotient = Division/Divide}


\large\textsf{Sum = Addition/Add}



\large\textsf{Now, that we have that information out the way, we can answer the}\\\large\textsf{question.}



\large\text{Question reads:}


\large\textsf{The PRODUCT of a NUMBER z & 12 is 60}



\large\text{Equation:}

\mathsf{12 * z = 60}



\large\text{Simplify it:}


\mathsf{12 * z = 60}


\mathsf{12z = 60}



\large\text{DIVIDE 12 to BOTH SIDES:}


\mathsf{(12z)/(12) = (60)/(12)}


\large\text{CANCEL out:}
\rm{\ (12)/(12)}
\large\text{because it gives you 1.}


\large\text{Keep:}
\rm{(60)/(12)
\large\text{because it gives you the answer of the unknown number.}


\large\text{New equation:}


\mathsf{ x = (60)/(12)}



\large\textsf{Simplify it:}


\mathsf{x = 5}


\large\text{Therefore, your answer should be:}


\large\boxed{\mathsf{x = \frak{5}}}\large\checkmark



\large\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
