12x+4=3\left(2x-3\right)+12
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,4.
12x+4=6x-9+12
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2x-3.
12x+4=6x+3
Add -9 and 12 to get 3.
12x+4-6x=3
Subtract 6x from both sides.
6x+4=3
Combine 12x and -6x to get 6x.
6x=3-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
6x=-1
Subtract 4 from 3 to get -1.
x=\frac{-1}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=-\frac{1}{6}
Fraction \frac{-1}{6} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{6} by extracting the negative sign.
