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

You're off to a great start. I'll start where you left off.


-2x%2B3=x-51 Start with the given equation.


-2x=x-51-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


-2x-x=-51-3 Subtract x from both sides.


-3x=-51-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3x=-54 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-54%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.


x=18 Reduce.

Answer:
So the solution is x=18
