6+6\left(x+\frac{x}{2}\right)=6x+6x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 14, the least common multiple of 7,2.
6+6\times \frac{3}{2}x=6x+6x
Combine x and \frac{x}{2} to get \frac{3}{2}x.
6+\frac{6\times 3}{2}x=6x+6x
Express 6\times \frac{3}{2} as a single fraction.
6+\frac{18}{2}x=6x+6x
Multiply 6 and 3 to get 18.
6+9x=6x+6x
Divide 18 by 2 to get 9.
6+9x=12x
Combine 6x and 6x to get 12x.
6+9x-12x=0
Subtract 12x from both sides.
6-3x=0
Combine 9x and -12x to get -3x.
-3x=-6
Subtract 6 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-6}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=2
Divide -6 by -3 to get 2.
