May I please get some help on how to solve this one step equation?
1/3x=12
All I need is for someone to walk me through it
I also need a little walk through on how to solve this two step equation as well:
3/2x - 4 = 16
(1/3)x = 12.
x/3 = 12,
Multiply both sides by 3:
X = 36.
Ohhhh, I get it now, thank you for helping me!
2. (3/2)x - 4 = 16.
3x/2 - 4 = 16,
Add 4 to both sides:
3x/2 - 4+4 = 16 + 4,
3x/2 = 20,
Multiply both sides by 2:
3x = 40,
Divide both sides by 3:
X = 40/3 = 13 1/3.
Thank you so very much!
You are welcome!
Of course! Solving a one-step equation involves isolating the variable on one side of the equation. Let's solve the equation 1/3x = 12 step by step:
Step 1: To begin, we want to get rid of the fraction. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the fraction, which in this case is 3/1 or simply 3. By multiplying both sides by 3, the equation becomes:
3 * (1/3x) = 3 * 12
Step 2: Simplify each side of the equation. On the left side, the 3 and 1/3 will cancel each other out, leaving us with just x:
1x = 36
Step 3: Since multiplying by 1 does not change the value of x, we can simply rewrite the equation as:
x = 36
So, the value of x in the equation 1/3x = 12 is 36.
