Hi there! :)

Answer:

B. Multiplication Property of equality.

x=12

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Explanation:

First, you divide by 6 from both sides of an equation.


(6x)/(6)=(72)/(6)

And then, you simplify and solve. Then you divide by the numbers from left too right.


72/6=12

Answer:
x=12

Hope this helps!

Answer: Choice 2) Multiplication property of equality

You multiply both sides by 1/6 to isolate x. This is the same as dividing both sides by 6.
