Question

What is the value of x in the equation below

Answer 1

Answer: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 ( 12x - 24 ) = 16 , this equation could be written as :

$\frac{12x-24}{3}$

cross multiply , we have

12x - 24 = 3 x 16

12x - 24 = 48

Add 24 to both sides , we have

12x = 48+ 24

12x = 72

Divide both sides by 12

x = 72 / 12

x = 6
