Question

Solve and check the following equation

Answer 1

To find the answer you do the opposite of what is given, so you do 12*5=60

Therefore x=60

Answer 2

This equation can be solved by multiplying 5 on both sides of the equation to isolate x.

$\frac{x}{5}$×5=12×5

x=60

You can check the solution by substituting x for 60 in the equation.

$\frac{60}{5}$=12

12=12
