Question

Apply the Division Property of Equality.
12x - 2/3 = 83 1/3

Answer 1

• x = 7

Explanation:

Let's solve the equation to get your result.

• => 12x - 2/3 = 83 1/3
• => 12x = 83 1/3 + 2/3
• => 12x = 83 3/3
• => 12x = 84
• => x = 84/12
• => x = 7

Your solution is 'x = 7'

Answer 2

12x = -125

Explanation:

12x - 2/3 = 83 1/3

Make improper fraction

12x - 2/3 = 250/3

Divide both sides by -2/3 (same as multiplying by -3/2)

12x = -125
