Question 840513
When solving {{{x/2=6}}}, you multiply both sides by 2 to isolate x. So


{{{x/2=6}}}


{{{2(x/2)=2*6}}}


{{{x=12}}}



=======================================================


Yes {{{(2/7)x=4}}} and {{{x = 14}}} are equivalent because if you solve for x in the first equation, you get the following



{{{(2/7)x=4}}}


{{{2x=4*7}}} Multiply both sides by 7.


{{{2x=28}}}


{{{x=28/2}}} Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


{{{x=14}}}
