12 + 2x + -3x = 3 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x
12 + -1x = 3 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
12 + -1x = 3 + 0
12 + -1x = 3

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + -1x = 3 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + -1x = 3 + -12
-1x = 3 + -12

Combine like terms: 3 + -12 = -9
-1x = -9
