The value of x in the equation
(2)/(3)((1)/(2)x + 12) = ((1)/(2)((1)/(3)x + 14) - 3\frac12) is x = -27

How to determine the value of x in the equation

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:


(2)/(3)((1)/(2)x + 12) = ((1)/(2)((1)/(3)x + 14) - 3\frac12)

Express fractions as improper fractions

So, we have


(2)/(3)((1)/(2)x + 12) = ((1)/(2)((1)/(3)x + 14) - \frac72)

Open the brackets


(1)/(3)x + 8 = (1)/(6)x + 7 - \frac72

Multiply through by 6

2x + 48 = x + 42 - 21

This gives

2x - x = 42 - 21 - 48

Evaluate

x = -27

Hence, the value of x in the equation is x = -27

Question

What is the value of x in the equation?


(2)/(3)((1)/(2)x + 12) = ((1)/(2)((1)/(3)x + 14) - 3\frac12)
