Chapter 4.4, Problem 4BGP

To determine

To calculate:To solve the equation and check the solution

Answer to Problem 4BGP

Solution is $a=72$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Equation is $\frac{a}{6}=12$

Calculation:

Given equation is as follows:

  $\frac{a}{6}=12$

On solving the equation,

  $\begin{array}{l}a=12\left(6\right)\\ a=72\end{array}$

Now, in order to check the solution, substitute $a=72$ in equation $\frac{a}{6}=12$

Left hand side of equation is solved as follows:

  $\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{72}{6}\\ \Rightarrow 12\end{array}$

Since, Left hand side of equation is equal to right hand side

Thus, $a=72$ is solution of equation $\frac{a}{6}=12$

Conclusion:

Hence,solution is $a=72$
