To solve the equation \(\frac{x}{2} - 6 = 12\), follow these steps:
-
Add 6 to both sides of the equation:
\[ \frac{x}{2} - 6 + 6 = 12 + 6 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ \frac{x}{2} = 18 \]
-
Multiply both sides by 2 to solve for \(x\):
\[ 2 \cdot \frac{x}{2} = 18 \cdot 2 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ x = 36 \]
Thus, the solution to the equation is \(x = 36\).
