Let's solve each equation step by step.

---

### **Problem 26**
$$
\frac{x}{12} = \frac{12}{9}
$$

**Step 1:** Simplify the right side of the equation.
$$
\frac{12}{9} = \frac{4}{3}
$$

**Step 2:** Set up the equation with the simplified fraction.
$$
\frac{x}{12} = \frac{4}{3}
$$

**Step 3:** Solve for $$ x $$ by cross-multiplying.
$$
x \times 3 = 12 \times 4 \
3x = 48
$$

**Step 4:** Divide both sides by 3 to isolate $$ x $$.
$$
x = \frac{48}{3} \
x = 16
$$

**Solution:** $$ x = 16 $$

### **Problem 28**
$$
-3|x| = -3
$$

**Step 1:** Divide both sides by -3 to isolate the absolute value.
$$
|x| = 1
$$

**Step 2:** Solve the absolute value equation.
$$
x = 1 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -1
$$

**Solution:** $$ x = 1 $$ or $$ x = -1 $$

---

### **Final Answers**
- **Problem 26:** $$ x = 16 $$
- **Problem 28:** $$ x = 1 $$ and $$ x = -1 $$
**Solutions:** - **Problem 26:** $$ x = 16 $$ - **Problem 28:** $$ x = 1 $$ and $$ x = -1 $$
