Question

How do you solve `1/6x=3`?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the equation by `color(red)(6)` to solve for `x` while keeping the equation balanced:

`color(red)(6) xx 1/6x = color(red)(6) xx 3`

`cancel(color(red)(6)) xx 1/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(6)))x = 18`

`1x = 18`

`x = 18`
