Answer 1

To solve for x, we can first simplify the equation by multiplying both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction:

(1/3)x - 4 = -12
3 * (1/3)x - 3 * 4 = -12
x - 12 = -12

Next, we can add 12 to both sides of the equation to isolate x:

x - 12 + 12 = -12 + 12
x = 0

Therefore, the solution is x = 0.
