Answer:

x = 28

Solution:

3/7x = 12

3/7x ÷ 3/7 = 12 ÷ 3/7 ( divide 3/7 in both sides )

x = 12 ÷ 3/7 (divide)

x = 84/3 (simply divide 84 and 3)

x = 28

(solution for dividing the fraction and the whole number 12 and 3/7, for those who don't know how to divide fractions and whole numbers...)

12/1 ÷ 3/7

12/1 ÷ 7/3 (reciprocal method)

12/1 × 7/3 (change operation to multiplication)

12/1 × 7/3 = 84/3 (multiply)

84/3 ⇒ 28 (simplify)
