Question

X divided by 4 equals 12 what does x represent to get 12?

Answer 1

Let's write an equation first:

x divided by 4 can be represented as x/4 

So, x/4 = 12

Now to isolate x, multiply by 4 to cancel the four out. If you do this to one side, you have to do it to the other.

(x/4)4 = 12(4)

so that leaves us with x = 48

In order to get 12 as an answer, x would have to represent 48.
 Hope this helps!
