Terry,

You want to isolate the term with the "x" and then divide by 7.

So, add 5/12 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -5/12 on the
right, then divide by 7.

You will get 7/12 = 7x ( since -1 + 5/12 = -12/12 + 7/12)

When you divide by 7, you will get 1/12 = x.

If you need more help with this or any other math problem, post your
questions to
alt.algebra.help and you'll get lots of responses.
