Answer 2

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{1}{2}$ x - 7 = $\frac{1}{3}$(x - 12)

Multiply both sides by 6 ( the LCM of 2 and 3 ) to clear the fractions

3x - 42 = 2(x - 12) ← distribute

3x - 42 = 2x - 24 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x - 42 = - 24 ( add 42 to both sides )

x = 18
