Question

1/2x - 7 = 1/3 (x- 12)

Answer 1

x = 18

hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

x = 18

Explanation:

1/2x - 7 = 1/3 (x- 12)

Multiply both sides by 3

3 * 1/2x - 3 * 7 = 3 * 1/3 (x - 12)

3/2x - 21 = x - 12

Collect like terms

3/2x - x = 21 - 12

1/2x = 9

Multiply both sides by 2

x = 2 * 9

x = 18
