The mistake is in the final answer.
The equation given is x/2 = -12. To find the value of x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
(x/2) * 2 = (-12) * 2
This simplifies to x = -24, not 24.
Therefore, the mistake is in stating that the answer is 24 instead of -24.
