Question 342714
{{{(2/3)x+(1/2)x=14}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{6((2/cross(3))x+(1/cross(2))x)=6(14)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{6}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{4x+3x=84}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{7x=84}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(84)/(7)}}} Divide both sides by {{{7}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=12}}} Reduce.
