x = 6
x = 6
x = 8
x = 8
x = 27
x = 27
x = 72
x = 72
To find the value of x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the denominator:
x/3 * 3 = 24 * 3
x = 72
Therefore, the solution is x = 72.
To solve the equation "x/3 = 24" using mental math, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x.
Since x/3 multiplied by 3 gives us x (or x/3 * 3 = x), we can multiply both sides of the equation 24 = 24 * 3.
This gives us x = 72.
Therefore, the solution is x = 72.
