x^{2}+x-12=x^{2}+mx-n
Use the distributive property to multiply x+4 by x-3 and combine like terms.
x^{2}+mx-n=x^{2}+x-12
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
mx-n=x^{2}+x-12-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
mx-n=x-12
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
mx=x-12+n
Add n to both sides.
xm=x+n-12
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xm}{x}=\frac{x+n-12}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
m=\frac{x+n-12}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.

Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
mx-n=x-12
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
-n=x-12-mx
Subtract mx from both sides.
-n=-mx+x-12
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-n}{-1}=\frac{-mx+x-12}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
n=\frac{-mx+x-12}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
n=mx-x+12
Divide x-12-mx by -1.
