x-12+3x-9+2\left(x+6\right)+6x=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-3.
4x-12-9+2\left(x+6\right)+6x=0
Combine x and 3x to get 4x.
4x-21+2\left(x+6\right)+6x=0
Subtract 9 from -12 to get -21.
4x-21+2x+12+6x=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+6.
6x-21+12+6x=0
Combine 4x and 2x to get 6x.
6x-9+6x=0
Add -21 and 12 to get -9.
12x-9=0
Combine 6x and 6x to get 12x.
12x=9
