Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
<u>First, distribute the numbers outside of the parenthesis to the numbers on the inside.</u>
-12x - 9 + 24x + 4 = 43
<u>Combine like terms.</u>
12x - 5 = 43
<u>Add 5 to both sides.</u>
12x = 48
<u>Divide by 12 on both sides of the equation.</u>
<u>x = 3 <- This is the answer.</u>
