Answer:

x=18

Explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

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

1/2x-7=1/3x-4

Subtract 1/3x from both sides.

1/6x-7=-4

Add 7 to both sides.

1/6x=3

Multiply both sides by 6.

x=18

Answer:


x = 18

Explanation:


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


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


(1)/(2)x - 7 = (1)/(3)x-4


-(1)/(3)x
-(1)/(3)x


(1)/(6)x -7 = -4


6((1)/(6)x - 7 = -4)


x - 42 = -24


+ 42
+ 42


x = 18

Hope that helps!
