You have to get rid of 1/2 by multiplying it by its recriprocal which is like this:
1) 1/2 x 2/1 which equals to zero and you do the same to the other side.
2) -12 x 2/1 = -24x then multiply-24x with 7 which equals -168.
16-x= -24x -168
3) subtract 16 to the other side and subtract 24x with x
23x= -184
4) divide by 23 to isolate x and you get -8
5) x=-8

First you need to multiply 1/2 by 16, then multiply 1/2 by x to get 8-1/2x=-12(x+7). Then you multiply-12 by x to get-12x an then you multiply-12 by 7 so your equation looks like this 8-1/2x=-12x+-84. Combine the like terms and divide by the number with the x and you have your answer

Consider the 1-to10^19 scale on which the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy fits on a football field. On this scale, how far is it fr
bezimeni [28]

Beautiful !  What a great exercise !  I won't even check to verify
that 1:10⁻¹⁹ is an appropriate scale to map the Milky Way onto a
football field.  I'll just accept it and go from there.

(4.4 light years) x (10⁻¹⁹) = (2.5848 x 10¹³ miles) x (10⁻¹⁹)

                                       =  2.5848 x 10⁻⁶ mile

                                       =    0.164 inch .

(1,391,400 kilometers) x (10⁻¹⁹) = 1.3914 x 10⁻¹⁰ meter


Research Conclusions:

If the Milky Way shrinks to fit on a football field, then

-- Alpha Centauri is  0.164 inch from us.

-- The sun's diameter is about 1.39 times that of a Hydrogen atom. 

Playing with this same fun concept a little more:

-- The Earth is sailing around in its orbit, once a year,
    about 0.000015 millimeter from the sun. 

-- It takes light almost 27 years to travel 1 inch !

wow  !
