Question
Solve the following equation and verify the answer: $\frac{\text{x}}{5}=12$
✓
Answer
$\frac{\text{x}}{5}=12$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{5}\times5=12\times5$ [Multiplying both the sides by $5]$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}=60$
Verification: Substituting $x = 60$ in the $L.H.S.$
$\Rightarrow\frac{60}{5}=12=\text{R.H.S.}$
$\Rightarrow\text{L.H.S.}=\text{R.H.S.}$
Hence, verified.
