Let's first simplify the expression on both sides of the equation:

2(11x - 5) - 17x = 555(8x + 3) - 12
22x - 10 - 17x = 4440x + 1665 - 12
5x - 10 = 4440x + 1653

Next, let's isolate the variable x by moving all terms involving x to one side of the equation:

5x - 4440x = 1653 + 10
-4435x = 1663

Now, divide both sides by -4435 to solve for x:

x = -1663 / 4435
x = -0.375

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -0.375.
