To solve for x, let's simplify the equation step by step:

Start with 9(x + 1) = 3(5x + 1) - 12.

Expanding both sides of the equation:
9x + 9 = 15x + 3 - 12.

Combine like terms:
9x + 9 = 15x - 9.

Subtract 9x from both sides:
9 = 6x - 9.

Add 9 to both sides:
18 = 6x.

Divide both sides by 6:
x = 3.

Therefore, the equation has one solution: x = 3.
