Answer:

x=4

Explanation:

-3(4x+3)

you need to break open the paranthesis

-3 times 4x equals to -12x. -3 times 3 equals to -9. That means that this expression is equal to -12x-9.

4(6x+1)

you need to break open the paranthesis

4 times 6x equals to 24x. 4 times 1 equals to 4. That means that this expression is equal to 24x+4.

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

move all variables to the left side and numbers to the right side

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

12x=48

x=4
