Hi there!

x=80

1.Multiply the terms:


(6)/(12)·
80=(480)/(12)

2.Divide the fraction term:


(480)/(12)=40

3.Subtract the two terms:


40-10=30

This means, x=80..

Answer:

x = 80

Explanation:

(6/12)*x-10 = 30 // - 30

(6/12)*x-30-10 = 0

1/2*x-40 = 0 // + 40

1/2*x = 40 // : 1/2

x = 40/1/2

x = 80
