Question

What is the value of x in the equation below? One-third (12 x minus 24) = 16\

Answer 1

Option B aka 6

Explanation:

its right on edge

Answer 2

x=6

Explanation:

1/3 (12x-24) =16

Multiply each side by 3

13*/3 (12x-24) =16*3

12x - 24 = 48

Add 24 to each side

12x-24+24 = 48+24

12x = 72

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 = 72/12

x = 6
