Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

the rate going south is 13, the rate going east is 10

it took a total amount of 6hours and 72miles for the whole travel

so.. if going say hmmm South, it covered a distance of "d", then going East it covered a distance of the slack from 72 and "d", it covered "72 - d" miles

so, if going South it took "t" hours, then going East it took the slack from 6 and "t", or "6 - t" hours

thus      \bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
South&d&13&t\\
East&72-d&10&6-t
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=13t\\
72-d=10(6-t)\\
----------\\
72-\boxed{13t}=10(6-t)
\end{cases}

solve for "t"

so, it travelled East for 6-t hours

Answer:

Step 2 contains error in the given problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

\frac{1}{2}x-3=\frac{1}{3}x+6

Step 1: identifying the LCM.

The LCM identified is 6.

This step is correct.

In the next step, we multiply the LCM with each term of the equation.

Step 2:

\frac{6}{1}(\frac{1}{2}x) -3 =\frac{6}{1}(\frac{1}{3}x)+6

However,

In the given solution, the LCM is not multiplied with each term.

Hence,

Step 2 contains error in the given problem.
