  4x +28 = 12 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6x

  4x = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 28

  x = -4 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Check

  2(-4) +4(2(-4) +7) = 3(2(-4) +4) . . . . substitute for x

  -8 +4(-8 +7) = 3(-8 +4) . . . . evaluate products in parentheses

  -8 +4(-1) = 3(-4) . . . . . . evaluate sums in parentheses

  -8 -4 = -12 . . . . . . . . . true
