Question

How do you solve `12= x \cdot 25`?

Answer 1

`x = 12/25`
or

`x = 0.48`

Explanation:

Since `x` is being multiplied by `25`, you have to divide (the inverse of multiplication) to get rid of the `25` that's multiplied.

`(12) / 25 = (x * 25) / 25`

If you divide by `25` on one side, you have to divide the other side by the same number to keep it equivalent.

So, `12/25 = x`
