-3\left(\frac{5x^{2}}{60}-\frac{4x}{60}\right)
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 12 and 15 is 60. Multiply \frac{x^{2}}{12} times \frac{5}{5}. Multiply \frac{x}{15} times \frac{4}{4}.
-3\times \frac{5x^{2}-4x}{60}
Since \frac{5x^{2}}{60} and \frac{4x}{60} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{5x^{2}-4x}{-20}
Cancel out 60, the greatest common factor in 3 and 60.
