Question 23830
Solve for x: "Thanks for writing this in understandable form"
{{{(1/3)x+2 = (1/2)x}}} Clear the fractions by multiplying through by the common denominator (that's 6).
{{{6((1/3)x+2) = 6((1/2)x)}}}
{{{2x+12 = 3x}}} Subtract 2x from both sides.
{{{12 = x}}} or {{{x = 12}}}

Check: Substitute 12 for x in the original equation.
{{{(1/3)(12)+2 = (1/2)(12)}}}
{{{4 + 2 = 6}}}
{{{6 = 6}}}
