Solve for x 12=-4(-6x-3)

Problem

12=−4*(−6*x−3)

Solution

1. Distribute the constant −4 to both terms inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation.

12=(−4)*(−6*x)+(−4)*(−3)

12=24*x+12

2. Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term containing x

12−12=24*x+12−12

0=24*x

3. Divide both sides by 24 to solve for x

0/24=(24*x)/24

0=x

Final Answer

x=0
