The Problem is that 3 people go to lunch. They decide to share the $12 bill evenly. How much does each person pay?
The Equation is 3x=12
#1. What is the value of x?
#2. Solve for x
#3. Answer the question.
The Equation is 3x=12
Divide both sides of the equation by 3.
x = 12/3
x = 4
#1. To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation 3x = 12.
#2. Solving for x:
- Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x: 3x/3 = 12/3
- Simplify to get x = 4.
#3. Now that we have determined x = 4, we can answer the question. Each person would pay $4 to evenly share the $12 bill.
