Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

There is no solution to the equation.

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻


\boxed{\text{Calculating the Answer...}}\\\\-3(4x-6)=7-12x\\-------------\\\rightarrow -12x+18 = 7 - 12x\\\\\rightarrow -12x + 18 - 18 = 7 - 18 -12x\\\\\rightarrow -12x=-12x-11\\\\\rightarrow-12x+12x = -12x+12x - 11\\\\\rightarrow 0 = -11\\\\\boxed{\text{This is a \underline{contradiction}. There is no solution.}}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
