`\boxed{\rm{x=17}}`

We need to solve for x in
`(x-5)/(2) =6`. Follow these two steps to solve the equation in terms of the variable, x.

S T E P 1

» multiply both sides by 2

`\sf{\cfrac{x-5}{2}=6}`

`\sf{x-5=12}`

S T E P 2

» add 5 to both sides

`\sf{x=12+5}`

`\boxed{\rm{x=17}}`

Answer 2

`\Huge \boxed{\bf{x = 17}}`

Explanation:

To solve for
`\tt{x}`, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 to get rid of the fraction (remember, we want to leave
`\tt{x}` alone, to do this, we do the opposite):

• 
  `\tt{(x - 5)/(2) * 2 = 6 * 2}`

• 
  `\tt{x - 5 = 12}`

Then, add (opposite of subtraction) 5 to both sides to isolate (leave it alone)
`\tt{x}`:

• 
  `\tt{x - 5 + 5= 12 + 5}`

• 
  `\tt{x = 17}`

So, the solution to the equation
`\tt{(x - 5)/(2) = 6}` is
`\tt{x = 17}`
