Question

I'm not smart and I stink at math so can someone plz help me 12/x = 8

Answer 1

1. We need to get rid of all the denominator in this equation.

• This can be done by multiplying left and right sides by the LCD.
• In the problem: 12/x = 8, the LCD is X.

12/x = 8 is now 12 = x * 8

1a. 8 * x = 8x

Now, your answer is 3/2, but It's improper. Let's convert it into a mixed number.

Subtract 3 by 2.

3 - 2 = 1

3/2 = 1 1/2

Therefore, your answer is 1 1/2. Also, the answer is 1.5.
