Solve for x: \"Thanks for writing this in understandable form\"
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F3%29x%2B2+=+%281%2F2%29x\"$ Clear the fractions by multiplying through by the common denominator (that's 6).
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%28%281%2F3%29x%2B2%29+=+6%28%281%2F2%29x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B12+=+3x\"$ Subtract 2x from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12+=+x\"$ or $\"x+=+12\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check: Substitute 12 for x in the original equation.
