Answer:
x=12
Explanation:
6x=72
Divide both sides by 6
6x/6=72/6
x=12
It can also be solved this way
6x=72
Multiply both sides by 1/6
6x(1/6)=72(1/6)
6x/6=72/6
x=72/6
x=12
To check if correct, x will be substituted for 12 in the equation, and both sides of the equation must be equal
6x=72
6(12)=72
6X12=72
72=72
