Solved by pluggable solver: Linear Equation Solver

$\"15-4x=-33\"$ Start with the given equation.

$\"-4x=-33-15\"$ Subtract $\"15\"$ from both sides.

$\"-4x=-48\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.

$\"x=%28-48%29%2F%28-4%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"-4\"$ to isolate $\"x\"$ .

$\"x=12\"$ Reduce.
