Question

how do I solve for x? 3(x-4)=12x

Answer 1

3 (x-4) = 12x

3x - 12 = 12x

3x - 12x = 12

-9x = 12

x = -4/3

Answer 2

Answer:

$x = \frac{ - 4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution-

$3(x - 4) = 12x \\ \\ = 3x - 12 = 12 x \\ \\ = - 12 = 12x - 3x \\ \\ = - 12 = 9x \\ \\ \frac{ - 12}{9} = x \\ \\ = \frac{ - 4}{3} = x$

Answer obtained respectively.
