The given expression is : -1 + x/4 = 12

We need to find the value of x


\begin{gathered} -1+(x)/(4)=12 \\ (-1)/(1)+(x)/(4)=12 \\ \text{Taking LCM of 4 \& 1} \\ \text{LCM of 4 \& 1 =4} \\ (-4+x)/(4)=12 \\ (-4+x)/(4)=(12)/(1) \\ \text{Apply cross multiplication method} \\ 1(-4+x)=4*12 \\ -4+x=48 \\ \text{Add 4 on both side} \\ -4+x+4=48+4 \\ x=52 \end{gathered}

Thus, the value of x =52

Answer : x = 52
