To solve the equation \( 153x - 9 - 4 = 12 \), we first simplify the equation:

1. Combine like terms on the left side:

\[
153x - 13 = 12
\]

2. Now, add 13 to both sides of the equation:

\[
153x = 12 + 13
\]
\[
153x = 25
\]

3. Finally, divide both sides by 153 to solve for \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{25}{153}
\]

Now, we must state the value of \( x \neq \) something to complete the statement. Since any value can be used except the value we found, we can write:

\[
x \neq \frac{25}{153}
\]

Therefore, the final answer is:

\[
\boxed{\frac{25}{153}}
\]
