The solution to the equation is
\(x = (9)/(8)\).

Let's solve the equation
\(7x + 3 = 4x - 5x + 12\):

Combine like terms on both sides of the equation:


\[7x + 3 = -x + 12\]

Add
\(x\) to both sides to isolate the variable term:


\[8x + 3 = 12\]

Subtract 3 from both sides:


\[8x = 9\]

Divide both sides by 8 to solve for \(x\):


\[x = (9)/(8)\]

So, the solution to the equation is
\(x = (9)/(8)\).
