Question

$$\frac{1}{3}x+3=\frac{x}{2}$$

Solve for x

$x=18$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $6$, the least common multiple of $3,2$.

$$2x+18=3x$$

Subtract $3x$ from both sides.

$$2x+18-3x=0$$

Combine $2x$ and $-3x$ to get $-x$.

$$-x+18=0$$

Subtract $18$ from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-x=-18$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$x=18$$
