Solve 3 ( x − 4 ) = 12 x

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is (-4/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x − 4) = 12x

Multiply (x – 4) by 3 we get,

3(x – 4) = 12x

3x – 12 = 12x

3x – 12x – 12 + 12 = 12x – 12x + 12

-9x = 12

-9x/(-9) = -12/9

x = -4/3

Thus, The value of x is -4/3

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 4) = 12x

Use distributive property: a*(a - b) =(a*b) - (a*c)

3*x - 3*4 = 12x

3x - 12 = 12x

    -12   = 12x - 3x

   -12 = 9x

9x = -12

x = -12/9 = -4/3

x = -4/3
