Distribute and simplify both sides: $-12x - 3 - 3 = -3x - 9 + 4x$. Simplify to $-12x - 6 = x - 9$. Add $12x$ to both sides: $-6 = 13x - 9$. Add 9 to both sides: $3 = 13x$. Divide by 13: $x = \frac{3}{13}$.

Solve the Equation −3(4x+1)−3=−3(x+3)+4x- 3 ( 4 x + 1 ) - 3 = - 3 ( x + 3 ) + 4 x−3(4x+1)−3=−3(x+3)+4x

Solve the Equation $- 3 ( 4 x + 1 ) - 3 = - 3 ( x + 3 ) + 4 x$
