Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
3 + 3x + -2x = -12 + 2x + -2x

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

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
3 + 1x = -12 + 0
3 + 1x = -12

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

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

Combine like terms: -12 + -3 = -15
1x = -15

Divide each side by '1'.
x = -15

Simplifying
x = -15
