We start by simplifying the expression inside the absolute value:

$$
-12 + 3 = -9
$$

Taking the absolute value:

$$
|-9| = 9
$$

Now substitute back into the original expression:

$$
\frac{-6 - 9}{2 - (-3)}
$$

Simplify the numerator:

$$
-6 - 9 = -15
$$

And simplify the denominator:

$$
2 - (-3) = 2 + 3 = 5
$$

Thus, the expression becomes:

$$
\frac{-15}{5} = -3
$$

The simplified answer is $$ -3 $$.
The simplified answer is $$ -3 $$.
