Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

1/2(x - 106) = 12 + 7x

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. [Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply 2 on both sides:                      x - 106 = 2(12 + 7x)
  2. [Distributive Property] Distribute 2:                                                                 x - 106 = 24 + 14x
  3. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract x on both sides:                         -106 = 24 + 13x
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 24 on both sides:                      -130 = 13x
  5. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 13 on both sides:                                -10 = x
  6. Rewrite:                                                                                                             x = -10
