Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

So, x is our unknown variable. An so you have to ask yourself, what times 12= 72? The answer would be 6, because 12x6=72

The proper way to do it, would be to divide 12/12 so you isolate the variable, and what you do to one side, you do to the other, so divide 72 by 12 and you get 6! Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. use what's given in the question to write an equation

36x + 12y + 24e (using e as the variable for erasers)

b. 12 is the greatest common factor between the coefficients/ constant so factor it out

12 (3x + y + 2e)

12 kits

c. use the factored expression to see how many of each item

3x - 3 pencils

y - 1 crayon

2e - 2 erasers
