Answer:

X=18

Explanation:

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

(1/2)*x-((1/3)*(x-12))-7 = 0

(-1/3)*(x-12)+(1/2)*x-7 = 0

x/2-1/3*(x-12)-7 = 0

(-1/3*2*(x-12))/2+x/2+(-7*2)/2 = 0

x-1/3*2*(x-12)-7*2 = 0

1/3*x-14+8 = 0

1/3*x-6 = 0

(1/3*x-6)/2 = 0

(1/3*x-6)/2 = 0 // * 2

1/3*x-6 = 0

1/3*x-6 = 0 // + 6

1/3*x = 6 // : 1/3

x = 6/1/3

x = 18
