Answer 1

`\boxed {x = (15)/(7)}`

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
`x`:

`8x - (6)/(2) = x + 12`

-Divide
`6` by
`2`:

`8x - (6)/(2) = x + 12`

`8x - 3 = x + 12`

-Take
`x` and subtract from
`8x`:

`8x - 3 - x = x - x + 12`

`7x - 3 = 12`

-Add both sides by
`3`:

`7x - 3 + 3= 12 + 3`

`7x = 15`

-Divide both sides by
`7`:

`(7x)/(7) = (15)/(7)`

`\boxed {x = (15)/(7)}`

So, the value of
`x` is
`(15)/(7)`.

Answer 2

x= 15 /7

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8x− 6 /2 =x+12

8x+−3=x+12

8x−3=x+12

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

8x−3−x=x+12−x

7x−3=12

Step 3: Add 3 to both sides.

7x−3+3=12+3

7x=15

Step 4: Divide both sides by 7.

7x /7 = 15 /7
