Solution:
It is given that,
(2x + 12) = (x + 14) - 3
Let us solve the equation by transposing and combining the like terms.
2x + 12 = x + 14 - 3
2x - x = 14 - 3 - 12
Thus by isolating the variable x, we get
x = 14 - 15
x = -1
Therefore, the value of x is -1.
Summary:
The value of x in the equation (2x + 12) = (x + 14) - 3 is -1.
