You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you multiply x by 2/3 and then subtracts 12 from the product, the difference is equal to the original number x multiplied by 1/3 what is x? Write the equation.
-----------------------
Equation:
(2/3)x - 12 = (1/3)x)
---
subtract (1/3)x from both sides and solve for "x":
(1/3)x = 12
x = 36
