Hi, Hope I can help
.
-3(-x+4) = 3x - 12
.
First, You have to use distributive property
.
-3(-x)+(-3)(4) = 3x - 12
.
Next solve it even more
.
3x - 12 = 3x - 12
.
If you add 12 to both sides, it will be
3x - 12 + 12 = 3x -12 + 12, or
3x=3x
.
If you divide everything by 3,
.
, or
.
x = x
.
That means "x" can be any number
.
Let "x" = 6
.
-3(-x+4) = 3x - 12
.
-3(-6+4) = 3(6) - 12
(-3)(-2) = 18 - 12
6 = 6
.
Let "x" = (-8)
.
-3(-x+4) = 3x - 12
.
-3(-(-8)+4) = 3(-8) - 12
-3(8+4) = 3(-8) - 12
-3(12) = (-24) - 12
(-36)=(-36)
.
Hope I helped, Levi

Start with the given equation.
Distribute.
Add to both sides.
Subtract from both sides.
Combine like terms on the left side.
Combine like terms on the right side.
Simplify.
Since this equation is always true for any x value, this means x can equal any number. So there are an infinite number of solutions.
