You mean the division property of equality? If a=b, the (a/c)=(b/c)

4x =12
(divide both sides by 4)
4/4 x = 12/4
1 x = 3 or
x= 3

4x means 4 times an unknown number (x) which equals 12.
4x=12 you must divide by 4 to both sides of the equation in order to get x by itself. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other side of the equation. Thus, you will divide 12 into 4 and get 3 as your answer.

4x = 12
dividing both sides by 4
4x/4 = 12/4
x = 3
