Answer:

x = 13

Explanation:

Use the distributive property to multiply
(1)/(2) by x - 6

-

Multiply
(1)/(2) and -6

=
(-6)/(2)

-

Divide −6 by 2 to get −3.

-

Add −3 and 12 to get 9.

-

Subtract
(3)/(2) x from both sides

-

Combine
(1)/(2) x and
-(3)/(2) x to get -x

-x + 9 = -4

Subtract 9 from both sides.

-x = -4 - 9

Subtract 9 from −4 to get −13.

-x = -13

Multiply both sides by −1.

x=13
