Answer:

2

Explanation:

4x+3−x=12x−15

Combine 4x and −x to get 3x.

3x+3=12x−15

Subtract 12x from both sides.

3x+3−12x=−15

Combine 3x and −12x to get −9x.

−9x+3=−15

Subtract 3 from both sides.

−9x=−15−3

Subtract 3 from −15 to get −18.

−9x=−18

Divide both sides by −9.

x= –18÷–9

Divide −18 by −9 to get 2.

x=2
