-12x - 9 + 24x + 4 = 41
12x - 5 = 41
12x = 41 + 5
12x = 46
x = 46/12
x = 23/6.

First distribute the -3 to 4x + 3
It'll be -12x - 9

Then distribute 4 to 6x+1
It'll be 24x+4

-12x - 9 + 24x + 4 = 41
Add the like terms
12 x -5 = 41
12 x = 46
x = 46/ 12

In fractions the answer is 23/6
In decimals the answer is 3.84

Let me know if you need more help :)
