Question

Solve each of the following equations and verify the answer in each case:
$\frac{x}{5}=12$

Answer 1

$\frac{x}{5}=12$
⇒ $\frac{x}{5}\times 5=12\times 5$ [Multiplying both the sides by 5]
⇒ x = 60
Verification:
Substituting x = 60 in the L.H.S.:
⇒ $\frac{60}{5}$ = 12 = R.H.S.
⇒ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, verified.
