Answer

$\displaystyle x=\frac{11}{8}$

Work Step by Step

We solve: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(x-\frac{1}{3})=\frac{3}{4}-\frac{x}{6} $ $\displaystyle \frac{12}{2}(x-\frac{1}{3})=(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{x}{6})(12)$ $\displaystyle 6(x-\frac{1}{3})=(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{x}{6})(12)$ $6x-2=9-2x$ $6x+2x=9+2$ $8x=11$ $x=\frac{11}{8}$
