To solve the quadratic equation \(\frac{x + 12}{1} = 9\), we can first simplify it:

1. Start with the equation:
\[
\frac{x + 12}{1} = 9
\]

2. Multiply both sides by 1 (which doesn't change the equation):
\[
x + 12 = 9
\]

3. Now, isolate \(x\) by subtracting 12 from both sides:
\[
x = 9 - 12
\]
\[
x = -3
\]

So the solution to the equation is:
\[
\boxed{-3}
\]

To solve the equation \(\frac{x + 12}{1} = 9\), let’s break it down step by step:

  1. We start with the equation: \[ \frac{x + 12}{1} = 9 \]

  2. Since dividing by 1 doesn’t really change anything, we can just write: \[ x + 12 = 9 \]

  3. Now, we want to find out what \(x\) is. To do that, we need to get \(x\) all by itself. So, we can subtract 12 from both sides. It looks like this: \[ x + 12 - 12 = 9 - 12 \]

  4. This simplifies down to: \[ x = 9 - 12 \]

  5. Now we do the math on the right side: \[ 9 - 12 = -3 \]

So, the answer we find for \(x\) is: \[ x = -3 \]

That means the solution to our equation is: \[ \boxed{-3} \]
