Is there more to the problem?
First, make the mixed fraction into improper fraction,
x−12=54
Add 1/2 on both sides
x−12+12=54+12
Find LCM,
LCM is 4
x=54+1⋅22⋅2
x=54+24
Add
x=74
Or,
x=134
Or,
x=1.75
X=1.75 IS YOUR ANSWER!
Hope this helps!
Have a great day: )

To simplify rational expressions, simply see and check if there is a common number or same number that can be divided from in both. If not here, you would simply multiply the numbers together.
Then simplify if you would need to.
It would be 85x/6
Given:
circular merry-go-round that has a diameter of 15 feet.
Find: How much trim does he need to buy to put around the edge of the merry-go-round?
We need to find the circumference of the merry-go-round to get the measurement of the trim needed.
Circumference = π d
π = 3.14
d = diameter = 15 feet
Circumference = 3.14 * 15 feet
Circumference = 47.10 feet.
Mr. Osterhout needs to buy 47.10 feet of trim to put around the circular merry-go-round.
