Answer: x=1

Step-by-step explanation: So we're solving for x right but slight problem x is on both sides of the equation so we have to fix this. we can subtract 12x from both sides to get 12x-12x=0 and 15x-12x=3x so now we have 3x=3 to find x divide by 3 on both sided since 3/3=1 so 3x divided by 3 equals 1x or x and 3 divided by 3 is 1 so x=1

Math

12x+3=15x

-12x -12x

3=3x
