The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{228}{x} = 12$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 1
b1 = -1/12
a2 = 1
b2 = -x/228
so we get the equation
$$- \frac{x}{228} = - \frac{1}{12}$$
$$- \frac{x}{228} = - \frac{1}{12}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1/228
x = -1/12 / (-1/228)
We get the answer: x = 19
