To solve the equation \( 153x - 9 - 4 = 12 \), we start by simplifying the left side.
1. Combine the constants:
\[
153x - 9 - 4 = 12 \implies 153x - 13 = 12
\]
2. Next, add 13 to both sides:
\[
153x = 12 + 13 \implies 153x = 25
\]
3. Now, divide both sides by 153 to find \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{25}{153}
\]
The problem specifies \( x \neq \) (meaning there is a restriction or value to avoid). Since we found \( x = \frac{25}{153} \), the complete answer is:
\[
x \neq \frac{25}{153}
\]
Thus, you can fill in the blank with \( \frac{25}{153} \).
