12=3/(x+4)
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by (x+4) to get:
\n" ); document.write( "12(x+4) = 3
\n" ); document.write( "distribute the 12:
\n" ); document.write( "12x+48 = 3
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 48 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "12x = -45
\n" ); document.write( "x = -45/12
\n" ); document.write( "reduce fraction:
\n" ); document.write( "x = -15/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
