OK
The 12 and 3 have a common factor (3), so if you divide the 3 into the 12 and 3 you end up with -4x/1 or -4x.
Hope that helps.

-12x/3
3 goes in 12 4 times so it would be -4x

If you ignore all the non-number stuff, you have 12/3. And that is equal to 4.
Now just add back the non-number stuff and you have -4x.
