Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distributive property to multiply [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by x - 6
-
Multiply [tex]\frac{1}{2} and -6[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{-6}{2}[/tex]
-
Divide −6 by 2 to get −3.
-
Add −3 and 12 to get 9.
-
Subtract [tex]\frac{3}{2} x[/tex] from both sides
-
Combine [tex]\frac{1}{2} x[/tex] and [tex]-\frac{3}{2} x[/tex] to get -x
-x + 9 = -4
Subtract 9 from both sides.
-x = -4 - 9
Subtract 9 from −4 to get −13.
-x = -13
Multiply both sides by −1.
x=13
