Answer:

Explanation:

To answer this, you should isolate x:

(3/4)x = 12

Multiply each side by 4/3 and then:

x = 16

In case you need a more in depth explanation, here you go:

You multiply it by 4/3 because, in order to eliminate 3/4 from the left side of the equation, you need to multiply both sides by the opposite reciprocal of 3/4.

Here's how you do that:

12 x 4/3 = 48/3 = 16
