In solving a problem like this, the first thing we want to do is isolate the parentheses. To do this, we must subtract the "+12" from both sides.

(3xB)+12-12=60-12

(3xB)=48

Then next step is to isolate the variable within the parentheses. To do this, we must divide both sides by 3.

(3xB)/3=48/3

B=16

In "the Lord of the Flies" Ralph and Piggy find the conch shell on the beach and use it to call the other boys to them, forming a small society. Which is an important reason as to why the conch shell represents civilization and order. Whoever holds the conch shell gets the right to speak, again demonstrating it's symbolization of order. As the story progresses, the influence of the shell degrades at the same rate as the society and at the very end, a boulder crushes the conch shell, effectively symbolizing the end of the boys civilized instinct
