Find Common Denominator: First, we need to simplify the equation by finding a common denominator for the fractions on both sides of the equation. The common denominator for 6 and 12 is 12.
Eliminate Denominators: Multiply both sides of the equation by 12 to eliminate the denominators.12×(6−67)=12×123x+7
Simplify Left Side: Simplify the left side of the equation by distributing the 12 and simplifying the fraction.12×6−12×(67)=3x+772−14=3x+7
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.58=3x+7
Isolate x Term: Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x.58−7=3x+7−751=3x
Solve for x: Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x.351=33x17=x
