The first step is to write it as an algebraic equation 12=-4x
*is always means equals when translating from words to equations also your coefficient (-4) always comes before your variable (x)*
Now solve like a regular algebraic equation
12=-4x
Divide both sides by -4
-3=x
X=-3
*is always means equals when translating from words to equations also your coefficient (-4) always comes before your variable (x)*
Now solve like a regular algebraic equation
12=-4x
Divide both sides by -4
-3=x
X=-3
expression : -4x = 12
now. as it is in multiplication form when gng to the right it becomes division ...
so, x= 12/-4
∴x= -3
