Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
12(x -2) +3x = 1/3(x +12) +10x
12x -24 +3x = 1/3x +4 +10x . . . . . eliminate parentheses
15x = (10 1/3)x +28 . . . . . . . . . . add 24, collect terms
(4 2/3)x = 28 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10 1/3
x = (3/14)(28) = 6 . . . . . . . . multiply by 1/(4 2/3) = 3/14
The value x=6 satisfies the equation.
