Given the numerical equation:
4x + 12 = 0
Find the value of x.
Solution:
In order to find the value of x we simply transpose 12 on the other side of the equation, hence we must take note that in transposing a number the sign changes.
4x + 12 = 0
4x = -12
Divide both sides by 4 in order to cancel out 4x leaving behind x.
4x/4 = -12/4
x = -3
Final answer:
x = -3
