Answer:

x = [tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive Property:

3 (x - 4) = 12x

3x - 12 = 12x

Combine like terms and isolate the variable:

3x - 12 = 12x

-12 = 9x

[tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex] = x

x = [tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{-4}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 4) = 12x

3x - 12 = 12x --->by the distributive property of equality

-9x = 12 ---> subtraction property of equality

x = -9/12 ---> division property of equality

x = -4/3 as simplified
