Answer 1

x = -4

Explanation:

First you need to find the common factor, which in this problem is 3. Then you need to divide the equation by the common factor which makes it -x = 4. We then need to multiply the equation by -1 to make x positive which makes it x = -4.

Answer 2

Divide each term by

− 3 and simplify.

x = - 4
