Answer:

x = -3/11

Explanation:

First, distribute the -3 and 12 within the parenthesis

12 - 9x + 15 = 24x + 12

Now, combine like terms

3 - 9x = 24x + 12

Subtract 24x from both sides of the equation

3 - 33x = 12

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

- 33x = 9

Divide both sides by -33

x = -9/33

-9/33 can be simplified to -3/11, so the answer is

x = -3/11

I Hope That This Helps! :)
