So... i think you mean that the problem was how to solve x/2-x/3=2?
If it is, here is how you solve it :
Equation: x/2-x/3=2
Step 1: [x/2-x/3=2]6 Since there is different denominators, i can multiply the whole equation by 6. Because both 2 and 3 can divide into 6.
Step 2: 3x-2x=12 This is left after multipling the whole equation by 6.
Step 3: x=12 After subtracting the same variable, this is whats left.
Step 4: Solution Set {12} The last step is to put the solution set.
