So since our first example is X/4=-12 the first step would be to multiply 4 to both sides meaning you would multiply 4 by the division of 4 so it cancels out because they’re opposite operations do the same to the -12, so -12x4=-36 x=-36 the other example would be the same multiply 2 to both sides so on the left it would cancel out and on the right it would be -16 which is the answer to x
Hope this could help at least a little
