Explanation:

Given equation:

$\large{ ( - 3x)/(4) = - 12}$

Multiplying 4 both sides,

$\large{ ( - 3x)/(4) * 4 = - 12 * 4}$

$\large{ - 3x = - 48}$

Now divide (-3) both sides to isolate x,

$\large{ ( - 3x)/( - 3) = ( - 48)/( - 3) }$

$\boxed{x = 16}$

~The required value of x is 16 (ans).

Hello!

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\sf x = 16}$

Explanation:

→ We want to solve this equation:

$\sf -12 = (-3x)/(4)$

◼ Multiply both sides by 4:

$\sf -12 * 4 = (-3x)/(4) * 4$

◼ Simplify both sides:

$\sf -48 = -3x$

◼ Divide both sides by -3:

$\sf (-48)/(-3) = (-3x)/(-3)$

◼ Simplify both sides:

$\boxed{\sf x = 16}$

Conclusion:

The solution of the equation -12 = -3/4x is 16.
