Solve x/3+x/2+12/1=x

$$\frac { x } { 3 } + \frac { x } { 2 } + \frac { 12 } { 1 } = x$$

Solve for x

$$x=72$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine \frac{x}{3} and \frac{x}{2} to get \frac{5}{6}x.

$$\frac{5}{6}x+\frac{12}{1}=x$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$\frac{5}{6}x+12=x$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$\frac{5}{6}x+12-x=0$$

Combine \frac{5}{6}x and -x to get -\frac{1}{6}x.

$$-\frac{1}{6}x+12=0$$

Subtract 12 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-\frac{1}{6}x=-12$$

Multiply both sides by -6, the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{6}.

$$x=-12\left(-6\right)$$

Multiply -12 and -6 to get 72.

$$x=72$$
