To solve for the value of x in the equation x/12 = 6, you should multiply both sides of the equation by 12.
To solve for the value of x in the equation x/12 = 6, you should multiply both sides of the equation by 12.
To solve for the value of x in the equation x/12 = 6, you need to perform the same operation on both sides of the equation in order to maintain equality.
In this case, you should multiply both sides of the equation by 12. Multiplying the left side by 12 cancels out the division by 12, leaving only x. And multiplying the right side by 12 yields 6 * 12 = 72.
So, the correct answer is to multiply both sides of the equation by 12.
