Solve the equation.

Question

-3x = 12

x = 3

x = -3

x = 4

x = -4

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-3x = 12\), we can isolate \(x\) by dividing both sides of the equation by \(-3\):

\[ x = \frac{12}{-3} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = -4 \]

So the solution to the equation is:

\[ \boxed{-4} \]
