Question

What is the value of x in the equation below

1/3 (12 x-24)=16

answers are

2, 6, 8, or 10

Answer 1

Answer: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 ( 12x - 24 ) = 16 , this equation could be written as :

$\frac{12x-24}{3}$

cross multiply , we have

12x - 24 = 3 x 16

12x - 24 = 48

Add 24 to both sides , we have

12x = 48+ 24

12x = 72

Divide both sides by 12

x = 72 / 12

x = 6

Answer 2

Your answer would be B- 6. Hope this helps you!!
