1/3x - 4 = -12 solve for x

1 answer

To solve for x, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Given equation: 1/3x - 4 = -12

Add 4 to both sides of the equation to move the constant term to the other side:

1/3x = -12 + 4

Simplifying the right side:

1/3x = -8

To get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by 3:

3 * (1/3x) = 3 * (-8)

This simplifies to:

x = -24
