Question

Could you please explain how to solve this72 = 6x

Answer 1

`72=6x`

The aim of the expression is to find the value of x.

To find x, we have to divide both sides by the coefficient of x. By doing so, x will be isolated. Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} 72=6x \\ \text{divide both sides by }6 \\ (72)/(6)=(6x)/(6) \\ 12=x \\ x=12 \end{gathered}`
