Question

Write a division equation that has a solution of 12. Prove that your equation has a solution of 12 using algebraic methods.

Answer 1

The required equation is
`(y)/(6) =2`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Write a division equation that has a solution of 12.

The required division equation is shown below:

`(y)/(6) =2`

Solve the above equation a shown.

`(y)/(6)* 6=2* 6`

`y=12`

Now check this with algebraic method.

The required tape diagram is shown below:

`(12)/(6) =2`

`2=2`

Which is true, Hence 12 is the correct answer.
