Question

What should be done to both sides of the equation in order to solve 1/3x = 4

Answer 1

• x = 12

Explanation:

`\sf (1)/(3x) = 4`

In order to solve 1/3x = 4, multiply both the sides of the equation by 3

`\sf (1)/(3x) * 3 = 4 * 3`

simplifying the equation,

`\sf (1)/(x) = 12`

`{\boxed{\sf{ x = 12}}}`
