Solve 11/2/12=78/x

$$\frac { 1 \frac { 1 } { 2 } } { 12 } = \frac { 78 } { x }$$

Solve for x

$$x=624$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 12x, the least common multiple of 12,x.

$$x\times \frac{1\times 2+1}{2}=12\times 78$$

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

$$x\times \frac{2+1}{2}=12\times 78$$

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$x\times \frac{3}{2}=12\times 78$$

Multiply 12 and 78 to get 936.

$$x\times \frac{3}{2}=936$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{2}{3}, the reciprocal of \frac{3}{2}.

$$x=936\times \frac{2}{3}$$

Express 936\times \frac{2}{3} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{936\times 2}{3}$$

Multiply 936 and 2 to get 1872.

$$x=\frac{1872}{3}$$

Divide 1872 by 3 to get 624.

$$x=624$$
