Answer:
x = 7 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, add 1/2 and 6
1/2 + 12/2 = 13/2 = 6 1/2
Our equation now:
13/2 over 3 - x - 3 over 2 = 0
Next, divide 13/2 by 3
13/2 divided by 3 = 13/6
Our equation now:
13/6 over 3 - (x - 3) over 2 = 0
Now, find common denominators and simplify
13/6 - ((x - 3) times 3) over 6 = 0
22 - 3x over 6 = 0
Multiply by six on both sides
22 - 3x = 0
Subtract 22 from both sides
-3x = -22
Divide by -1
3x = 22
Divide both sides of the equation by 3
x = 22/3
x = 7 1/3
Hope this helps!
