#x=-5/12#

Multiply everything inside the bracket by -6

#50=15-12x+30#

Move #-12x# to the other side of the = and change its sign.
Move the 50 to the other side of the = and change its sign.

#+12x=15+30-50#

#12x=-5#

Divide both sides by 12

#12/12xx x=-5/12#

But #12/12=1# and #1xx x=x#

#x=-5/12#
