Solve x-12=x*4 - ScanMath

Evaluate

x - 12 = x \times 4

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

x - 12 = 4 x

Move the variable to the left side

x - 12 - 4 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 3 x - 12 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 3 x = 0 + 12

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 3 x = 12

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

3 x = - 12

Divide both sides

\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{- 12}{3}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 12}{3}
