Question

52-4=4x ???

what is that and how do u solve it

Answer 1

`x=12`

Explanation:

Simplify what you can on both sides:

`52 - 4 = 4x`

`48 = 4x`

So now we need a number that can be multiplied by 4 to get 48. A simpler way is to divide both sides by 4:

`48/4=(4x)/4`

`48/4 = x`

`12 = x`

So now it is known that `x = 12`.
