Answer: x=1+1/3

Step-by-step explanation: -(3x-12)=9x-4

We move all terms to the left:

-(3x-12)-(9x-4)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-3x-9x+12+4=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-12x+16=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-12x=-16

x=-16/-12

x=1+1/3
