Evaluate "12x" when x=5/6. Express in simplest form.
To evaluate "12x" when x is equal to 5/6, we simply substitute the value of x into the expression.
So, we have:
"12 * (5/6)"
To simplify the expression, we multiply the numerator (5) by the constant (12).
5 * 12 = 60
And the denominator remains the same.
So, the expression simplifies to:
"60/6"
To further simplify, we factor out the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 6.
60 divided by 6 is 10, and 6 divided by 6 is 1.
So, the simplified expression is:
"10/1" or simply "10"
Do it the same way I showed you a few minutes ago.
