Question

if x-12=1/4, than the value of x is _________.​

Answer 1

Answer:

See what you do here is that first you write down the question on the top

x:12=3:4

“:” Sign is a sign of division. So then you replace “:” with “/”(another sign of division/fraction)

So, x/12=3/4

In division, the opposite signs (i.e. 12 and 3 and x and 4) go for multiplication.

Hence, x/12=3/4

4x = 12x3

Then it becomes a simple “x” equation and you find the value of x

4x= 36

x=36/4

x= 9

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 49/4 = 12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

x-12 = 1/4

4(x-12) = 1

4x-48 = 1

4x = 1+48

x = 49/4 = 12.25
