Which of the following is the solution to the equation 2 over 3x = 12?
x = 4
x = 8
x = 18
x = 24

x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the rational equation

Multiply both sides by 3 in order to eliminate 3 from the denominator

Now, we need to eliminate 2 from the left hand side to isolate x. Since, 2 is in multiplication with x hence to eliminate 2 we can divide both sides by 2

Hence, the value of x is 18.

Second option is correct.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
