Answer:

-3(x-12)=-54

Step-by-step explanation:

So let x be the number

So -3(x-12)=-54


Here’s x:

So dividing both sides by -3, we get x-12=18. So x=30

Answer:

x=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the unknown number x, use the equation (x-12)*-3 = -54, use the distributive property to make it -3x+36 = -54. Next, subtract 36 from both sides, to get -3x=-90, divide by -3 to get x=30
