Question 850080: What is the value of x in 6/5x =12?
Just to be sure 6 is the numerator and 5x is the denominator.
I've tried to get x on one side. I know that fraction means division so the over way is multiplication. Sorry if I am in the wrong section because this is the first time I've ever been on this site and if you could answer, I would be very grateful and appreciate your help and effort. :)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
6%2F%285x%29+=+12

6+=+12%2A5x Multiply both sides by 5x

6+=+60x

6%2F60+=+x Divide both sides by 60 to isolate x.

1%2F10+=+x

x+=+1%2F10

So the solution is x+=+1%2F10
