Answer:

Explanation:

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

Multiply through by 4 to eliminate the fraction

That's

$4 * (3)/(4) (x - 12) = 12 * 4 \\ 3(x - 12) = 48$

Expand the terms in the bracket

3x - 36 = 48

Add 36 to both sides of the equation

That's

$3x + 36 - 36 = 48 + 36 \\ 3x = 84$

Divide both sides by 3

$(3x)/(3) = (84)/( 3) \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
