Answer: x= 1/2- 4/3

At the bottom it says 0.5, so, 1/2= 0.5 and,

4/3= 1.33.....

Explanation:

Add '-16y' to each side of the equation.

12x + 16y + -16y = 6 + -16y

Combine like terms: 16y + -16y = 0

12x + 0 = 6 + -16y

12x = 6 + -16y

Divide each side by '12'.

x = 0.5 + -1.3...y

Simplifying

x = 0.5 + -1.3...y
