Let's solve your equation step-by-step:

It's always easiest to rewrite the equation, so let's do that -

5 - 1/2x = 12

Step 1) Simplify both sides of the equation

-1/2x + 5 = 12

Step 2) Subtract 5 from both sides

-1/2x  = 7

Step 3) Multiply both sides by 2/(-1)

(2/-1) * (-1/2x) = (2/-1) * 7

x = -14

FINAL ANSWER --

x = -14

⇒ -1/2x= 12-5
⇒ -1/2x= 7
⇒ x= 7/(-1/2)
⇒ x= 7* (-2/1)
⇒ x= -14

Final answer: x=-14~
