Solve 3(x-4) = 12x. circle your final solution

9x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

3*x = 3x

3*-4= -12

3x - 12 = 12x

12x-3x = 9x

9x-12

 x = -4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x−4)=12x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−4)=12x

(3)(x)+(3)(−4)=12x  (Distribute)

3x+−12=12x

3x−12=12x

Step 2: Subtract 12x from both sides.

3x−12−12x=12x−12x

−9x−12=0

Step 3: Add 12 to both sides.

−9x−12+12=0+12

−9x=12

Step 4: Divide both sides by -9.

-9x/-9 = 12/-9

x = -4/3
