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