Answer:

n = 25/2, or n = 12  1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

It's essential that you use parentheses here to show how your numerals are grouped.  I have made some assumptions here, and believe you meant:

(1  1/2)(n - 4  1/2) = 12.

First, convert 1  1/2 and 4  1/2 into improper fractions:

(3/2)(n - 9/2) = 12

Multiplying both sides by (2/3) eliminates the fractional coefficient (3/2):

n - 9/2 = (2/3)(12), or    n - 9/2 = 8.

Again, eliminate the fraction by multiplying all terms by 2:

2n - 9 = 16

Then 2n = 25, and n = 25/2, or n = 12  1/2

Answer↑

Steps↓
Convert 2 1/2 to an improper fraction:
2 + 2+ 1 over 2

Once you add the numbers, that will be 5/2.

Now, multiply that with 1/7:
5/2 • 1/7

Your answer will be 5/14

Therefore, Rock A weighs 5/14 pounds
