Answer:
[tex]x = \frac{60}{2.35}[/tex] or [tex]x = 25.531...[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Cross Multiply
[tex]\frac{5}{2.35} = \frac{x}{12}[/tex]
[tex]5(12) = 2.35(x)[/tex]
[tex]60 = 2.35x[/tex]
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.35
[tex]60 / 2.35 = 2.35x / 2.35[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{60}{2.35}[/tex] or [tex]x = 25.531...[/tex]
Answer: [tex]x = \frac{60}{2.35}[/tex] or [tex]x = 25.531...[/tex]
