What is the solution to this equation?

[tex]\[ 4x = 124 \][/tex]

A. [tex]\( x = 120 \)[/tex]
B. [tex]\( x = 496 \)[/tex]
C. [tex]\( x = 31 \)[/tex]
D. [tex]\( x = 41 \)[/tex]



Answer :

Certainly! Let's solve the equation step-by-step.

We are given the equation:
[tex]\[ 4x = 124 \][/tex]

To isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex], we need to perform the same operation on both sides of the equation. In this case, we can divide both sides by 4.

[tex]\[ \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{124}{4} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x = \frac{124}{4} \][/tex]

When we divide 124 by 4, we get:

[tex]\[ x = 31 \][/tex]

So the solution to the equation [tex]\( 4x = 124 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( x = 31 \)[/tex].

Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{\text{C. } x = 31} \][/tex]
