$x = \frac{42}{55}$ $x = 42/55$

$3 \frac{x}{2} + 7 \frac{2}{3} x + 2 = \frac{24}{2} - x \leftarrow$ $3 x/2+ 7 2/3x+2=24/2-x" "larr$ change to improper fractions

$\frac{6 + x}{2} + \frac{23 x}{3} + 2 = 12 - x \leftarrow \times 6$ $(6+x)/2 + (23x)/3 +2 = 12-x" "larr xx 6$

$(cancel6^3xx(6+x))/cancel2 + (cancel6^2xx(23x))/cancel3 +6xx2 = 6xx12-x xx6$

$18+3x + 46x +12 =72 -6x$

$49x+6x = 72-18-12$

$55x = 42$

$x = 42/55$
