Answer 2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:  $\textsf{x = 16}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:  $\textsf{4/3 = x/12}$

Find: $\textsf{Determine the value of x}$

Solution:  In order to isolate the unknown variable x, we need to multiply both sides by 12.

Multiply both sides by 12

• $\textsf{4/3 = x/12}$

• $\textsf{4/3 * 12 = x/12 * 12}$

• $\textsf{4/3 * 12 = x}$

• $\textsf{16 = x}$

The value of x based on the information that was provided is x = 16.
