Answer:

-36

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use the inverse operations (÷ -3 × -3) to solve this equation.

x ÷ -3 = 12

Multiply each side by -3.

x = -36

Now we know x = -36.

So, -36 divided by -3 gives 12 as the result.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

About 6 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:
