The solution

  12        
----- = -6/7
x + 3       
$$\frac{12}{x + 3} = - \frac{6}{7}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{12}{x + 3} = - \frac{6}{7}$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 12

b1 = 3 + x

a2 = 1

b2 = -7/6

so we get the equation
$$\frac{\left(-7\right) 12}{6} = x + 3$$
$$-14 = x + 3$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = x + 17$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = 17$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = 17 / (-1)

We get the answer: x = -17
