Question

The equation 3x = 12 can be rewritten as x = 12 ÷ 3

Answer 1

                                                ANSWER

Yes! The equation 3x = 12 can be rewritten as x = 12 ÷ 3

It is because,

when we transpose 3 from L.H.S. to R.H.S,

Since 3 is being multiplied by 'x' in L.H.S,

So,

When it is transposed to the left side,

the sign of operation changes and 3 has to be now divided.

Hence,

The equation 3x = 12 can be rewritten as x = 12 ÷ 3
