Solve for x:
(3 x)/4 = -12
Multiply both sides of (3 x)/4 = -12 by 4/3:
(4×3 x)/(3×4) = -12×4/3
4/3×3/4 = (4×3)/(3×4):
(4×3)/(3×4) x = -12×4/3
4/3 (-12) = (4 (-12))/3:
(4×3 x)/(3×4) = (-12×4)/3
(4×3 x)/(3×4) = (3×4)/(3×4)×x = x:
x = (-12×4)/3
(-12)/3 = (3 (-4))/3 = -4:
x = 4×-4
4 (-4) = -16:
Answer: x = -16
