Given the expression;


3x\text{ = 12}

We want to determine whether x = 4 is a solution. This is as shown below;


\begin{gathered} 3x\text{ = 12} \\ \text{divide both sides by 3} \\ (3x)/(3)=(12)/(3) \\ x=\text{ 4} \end{gathered}

Since the value of x gotten is 4, hence it is TRUE that x = 4 is a solution.
