Question 31631
{{{ ((X-2)/2) - ((X+2)/4) = 1/2 }}}
Common Denominator is 4.
{{{ (2/2)((X-2)/2) - ((X+2)/4) = (1/2)(2/2) }}}
{{{ (2(X-2)/4) - ((X+2)/4) = (2/4) }}}
Drop the denominators
{{{ (2(X-2)) -1(X+2) = 2 }}}
Distribute the 2 and -1
{{{ 2X -4 -1X -2 = 2 }}}
Combine like terms
{{{ x - 6 = 2 }}} 
Add 6 to both sides
{{{ x = 8 }}}
