Answer:

x=0

Explanation:

To solve, we need to get the variable, x by itself.

Begin by moving all the numbers to one side of the equation. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation.

12=-4(-6x-3)

First, divide both sides by -4, since -4 is being multiplied by -6x-3

12/-4=-4(-6x-3)/-4

-3=(-6x-3)

Add 3 to both sides, since 3 is being subtract from -6x

-3+3=-6x-3+3

0=-6x

Now all the numbers are on one side. x is still not by itself; it is being multiplied by -6. To undo this divide both sides by -6.

0/-6=-6x/-6

0=x
