In order to solve this equation you must first simplify, then you re-range the terms, then solve.


12(x + -360) = 120


12(-360 + x) = 120


(-360 * 12 + x * 12) = 120


(-4320 + 12x) = 120


+ 4320+ 4320


12x = 4440


4440 / 12 = 370


x = 370

Which means your answer is "x=370."

Hope this helps.
