Question

If 12x = 60, what is the last step to solve for x?

A. multiply 12 to both sides

B. subtract 12 from both sides

C. add 12 to both sides

D. divide 12 from both sides

Answer 1

D. divide 12 from both sides

Explanation:

12x = 60,

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 = 60/12

x = 5

Answer 2

We have to find,

The last step to solve for x,

→ 12x = 60

Then use option (D),

D. divide 12 from the both sides,

→ 12x = 60

→ 12x/12 = 60/12

→ x = 5

Hence, option (D) is last step.
