SOLUTION: here's what I got so far. I got stuck at the very last line and am not sure what to do after. 2x/3-(x-1/2)=1/6(x-51) => 2x/3-x+1/2=1/6(x-51) => 4x/6 -6x/6+3/6=x-51/6 => 4x-6x+3

Question 269930: here's what I got so far. I got stuck at the very last line and am not sure what to do after.
2x/3-(x-1/2)=1/6(x-51)
=> 2x/3-x+1/2=1/6(x-51)
=> 4x/6 -6x/6+3/6=x-51/6
=> 4x-6x+3/6=x-51/6
=>-2x+3=x-51

Subtract x from both sides.


Combine like terms on the left side.


Combine like terms on the right side.


Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.


Reduce.
