Question

Solve the equation. x/3 + 12 = 18

Answer 1

we need to isolate x, so we subtract 12 from both sides

then we get: x/3=6

so now we need to get x alone, so we would multiply each side my 3

now we would get x=18!

:)

Answer 2

answer:  $x = 18$

work:

$\frac{1}{3}x + 12 = 18$  | subtract 12 on both sides, and solve.

$\frac{1}{3}x = 6$  | divide by $\frac{1}{3}$ on both sides, and solve.

$x = 18$  | final answer.
