What is the solution to the equation 4x + 12 = 0?

  1. -1

  2. -2

  3. -3

  4. -4

The correct answer is: -1

To find the solution to the equation 4x + 12 = 0, you start by isolating the variable x. The first step is to subtract 12 from both sides of the equation: 4x + 12 - 12 = 0 - 12 4x = -12 Next, you divide both sides by 4 to solve for x: 4x / 4 = -12 / 4 x = -3 The correct solution to the equation is -3. This result is derived by performing basic algebraic operations to isolate the variable, demonstrating a clear understanding of how to manipulate equations to find solutions.
