To solve the equation \( 324:(x+12) = 9 \), we can rewrite it in a more typical mathematical format:
\[ \frac{324}{x + 12} = 9 \]
Next, we will eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by \( x + 12 \):
\[ 324 = 9(x + 12) \]
Now, distribute the 9 on the right side:
\[ 324 = 9x + 108 \]
Next, isolate the term with \( x \) by subtracting 108 from both sides:
\[ 324 - 108 = 9x \]
\[ 216 = 9x \]
Now, divide both sides by 9 to solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{216}{9} \]
\[ x = 24 \]
So, the solution is:
\[ \boxed{24} \]
