Answer:

-2(2/3) or 2.6 repeating

Explanation:

Our formula can be written as this... (X * -3) + 4 = 12. By useing order of operations we know that '-3' and X must be multiplied first, so for the reverse we must subract 4 from 12 which gives us 8. Now in order to find X we need to divide 8 by -3 which will give us -2 2/3...
