Hey!
To solve this problem, we'd have to multiply both sides by 3. So your new problem would look something like this...
Original Equation :
[tex] \frac{x}{3} = 12[/tex]
New Equation :
[tex] \frac{3x}{3} = 12[/tex] · [tex]3[/tex]
Then you'd simply solve, or simplify to get your answer.
Solution {New Equation Solved} :
[tex]x=36[/tex]
So, to answer your question, you'd have to multiply both sides by 3. The solution to this problem is x = 36.
Hope this helps!
