3/4*x = 12*x
Then: 3/4*x - 12*x = 0
- 45/4*x = 0
x = 0/(-45/4)
x = 0

3/4*x = 12* x, only when x = 0
What was obvious since the beginning.

Multiply both sides by 4/3..
To check the solution just multiply 3/4 by 16..

3/4 *x=12
Reciprocate 3/4 with 4/3
3/4x(4/3)=12(4/3)
x=48/3
x=16

3/4 * 16=12
4 becomes 1 and 16 becomes 4
3*4=12
12=12
