    Step-by-step explanation:first add the 3 from both sides. So you add 3 from its self and the - 51 which adds up to be - 48. Then you do divide - 12 which the gives you x=4

    x=4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. - 12x=-51+3.

    Put all variable numbers on one side and all regular on other side of equal sign. Also, when switching sides of equal sign you change the operation. For example, - 3 became + 3 when I switched it to the other side.

    2. - 12x=-48

    Add - 51 to 3.

    3. - 12x: (-12) = -48: (-12)

    Divide both sides by - 12 so you can get x alone. You divide it on both sides because what you do to one side, you must do the other since they are equal.

    4. x=4

    The final answer is x=4.
