Question

For which equation would x = 12 be a solution?

x + 4 = 12
48 ÷ x = 12
12 - x = 4
12x = 144

Answer 1

The last equation would be correct: 12x = 144    Because 12 x 12 = 144

Answer 2

x=12 is a solution for the equations 48÷x=12 and 12x=144.

Let's check each equation with the value x = 12:

For the equation x+4=12:

12+4=16 which is not equal to 12. So, x=12 is not a solution for this equation.

For the equation 48÷x=12:

48÷12=4, which is equal to 12. So, x=12 is a solution for this equation.

For the equation 12−x=4:

12−12=0, which is not equal to 4. So, x=12 is not a solution for this equation.

For the equation 12x=144:

12×12=144, which is equal to 144. So, x=12 is a solution for this equation.

Therefore, x=12 is a solution for the equations 48÷x=12 and 12x=144.
