Question

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

Answer 1

i think the answer is x= 9/35

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 18

Explanation:

Given

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

Multiply both sides by 6 ( the LCM of 2 and 3 ) to clear the fractions

3x - 42 = 2(x - 12) ← distribute

3x - 42 = 2x - 24 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x - 42 = - 24 ( add 42 to both sides )

x = 18
