Let's simplify this equation to solve for our mystery variable.

First, we can multiply both sides by 3 'B' to isolate our mystery variable

4 'A' times 3 'B' can be simplified to 12 times 'A' times 'B', or 12 'A' 'B'

This math skill teaches how to manipulate and simplify algebraic fractions by multiplying both sides of an equation to isolate and solve for a variable. It includes combining and simplifying terms post-multiplication.
