To solve for x, we can follow these steps:
1. Add 4 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x:
1/3x - 4 + 4 = -12 + 4
This simplifies to:
1/3x = -8
2. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
3 * (1/3x) = 3 * (-8)
This results in:
x = -24
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D) -24
