x = 4

This is shown through a set of steps:

First, distribute:

-12x - 9 + 24x + 4 = 43

Note that the three turned into a negative, this is because the number outside of the parenthesis is also negative.

Then, combine like terms:

12x - 5 = 43

Then proceed to solve the equation:

12 x = 48
x = 4

Hope this helps!
