Question

12(3-x)=48
plllllzzzz

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

So what I thought to do is first find out what number times 12 equals 48. I divided 48 by 12 to get 4. So we know that the problem in the parenthesis has to equal 4. Since you're subtracting from a number smaller than 4, your answer will be a negative number, -1.

Answer 2

x = - 1

Explanation:

Isolate (3 - x) by dividing both sides by 12

3 - x = 4 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- x = 1 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 1
