24-3x-12=6\left(2x+12\right)
To find the opposite of 3x+12, find the opposite of each term.
12-3x=6\left(2x+12\right)
Subtract 12 from 24 to get 12.
12-3x=12x+72
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 2x+12.
12-3x-12x=72
Subtract 12x from both sides.
12-15x=72
Combine -3x and -12x to get -15x.
-15x=72-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
-15x=60
Subtract 12 from 72 to get 60.
x=\frac{60}{-15}
Divide both sides by -15.
x=-4
Divide 60 by -15 to get -4.
