Question

Which of the following is the solution to the equation 2 over 3x = 12? (3 points)

Answer 1

$\dfrac{2}{3x} = 12$

Cross multiply:
$12 \times 3x = 2$

Multiply:
$36x = 2$

Divide both sides by 36:
$x = \dfrac{2}{36}$

Simplify:
$x = \dfrac{1}{18}$

$\boxed {\boxed {\text {Answer : }x = \dfrac{1}{18}}}$
