Which you distribute between bird feeders (this is represented by division) and this results in each getting 6

anonymous · Answer

To solve for x, just solve the equation x/4 = 6. An equation is like scales you can do the same stuff to both sides and it still balances. In this case multiply both sides by 4 to get 
x / 4 * 4 = 6 * 4
x = 24
