Answer is 4 = x. Write out The equation. Then converted to a polynomial. Then use the formula in the top upper right and then do the simple arithmetic to find a positive solution for X. it also makes logical sense as well, 3×4 is 12. I hope this helps and makes sense my Hand writing is not the Best
