Question

Can someone please help me with this , thanks

Answer 1

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

<3

Answer 2

`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!
