Step 1
1 of 2

x37=63x412(x37)=12(63x4)4x84=729x13x=156x=12\begin{align*} \displaystyle \frac{x}{3}-7&=6-\displaystyle \frac{3x}{4}\tag{multiply both sides with $3\cdot 4$}\\ 12\displaystyle \left(\frac{x}{3}-7\right)&=12\displaystyle \left(6-\frac{3x}{4}\right)\tag{distribute-simplify}\\ 4x-84&=72-9x\tag{add $9x+84$ to both sides}\\ 13x&=156\tag{divide by 13}\\ x&=12\end{align*}
