You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Read the \"detailed explanation\" section for the steps, but disregard everything after where its says 0=0, thats an error. It is reexplained below.

This is an equation! Solutions: x=12.
Graphical form: Equation $\"x%2F2%2B7=x%2F3%2B9\"$ was fully solved.
Text form: x/2+7=x/3+9 simplifies to 0=0
Cartoon (animation) form: $\"simplify_cartoon%28+x%2F2%2B7=x%2F3%2B9+%29\"$
For tutors: simplify_cartoon( x/2+7=x/3+9 )
If you have a website, here's a link to this solution.

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"x%2F2%2B7=highlight_red%28+x%2F3%2B9+%29\"$ .
Moved these terms to the left $\"highlight_green%28+-x%2F3+%29\"$ , $\"highlight_green%28+-9+%29\"$
It becomes $\"x%2F2%2B7-highlight_green%28+x%2F3+%29-highlight_green%28+9+%29=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"x%2F2%2Bhighlight_red%28+7+%29-x%2F3-highlight_red%28+9+%29=0\"$ .
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes $\"x%2F2%2Bhighlight_green%28+-2+%29-x%2F3=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"x%2F2%2Bhighlight_red%28+-2+%29-x%2F3=0\"$ .
Moved $\"-2\"$ to the right of expression
It becomes $\"x%2F2-x%2F3%2Bhighlight_green%28+-2+%29=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"x%2F2-x%2F3%2Bhighlight_red%28+-2+%29=0\"$ .
Removed extra sign in front of $\"-2\"$
It becomes $\"x%2F2-x%2F3-highlight_green%28+2+%29=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"highlight_red%28+x%2F2+%29-highlight_red%28+x%2F3+%29-2=0\"$ .
Eliminated similar terms $\"highlight_red%28+x%2F2+%29\"$ , $\"highlight_red%28+-x%2F3+%29\"$ replacing them with $\"highlight_green%28+%281%2F2-1%2F3%29%2Ax+%29\"$
It becomes $\"highlight_green%28+%281%2F2-1%2F3%29%2Ax+%29-2=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"%28highlight_red%28+1%2F2+%29-highlight_red%28+1%2F3+%29%29%2Ax-2=0\"$ .
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes $\"%28highlight_green%28+1%2F6+%29%29%2Ax-2=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"highlight_red%28+%28highlight_red%28+1%2F6+%29%29%2Ax+%29-2=0\"$ .
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor $\"highlight_red%28+1+%29\"$ , $\"highlight_red%28+1%2F6+%29\"$
It becomes $\"highlight_green%28+1+%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+6+%29%2Ax-2=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"highlight_red%28+1+%29%2F6%2Ax-2=0\"$ .
Remove extraneous '1' from product $\"highlight_red%28+1+%29\"$
It becomes $\"x%2F6-2=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"highlight_red%28+x%2F6-2+%29=0\"$ .
Solved linear equation $\"highlight_red%28+x%2F6-2=0+%29\"$ equivalent to 0.166666666666667*x-2 =0
It becomes $\"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\"$ .
Result: $\"0=0\"$

Done!

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Sorry, the solver messed up a bit at the end. The correct process is when you have $\"x%2F6-2=0\"$ , you add two to both sides to get $\"x%2F6=2\"$ . Then multiply both sides by six $\"6%2Ax%2F6=2%2A6\"$ to get the final answer. \r
