    x=57

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1/3x - 1/2 = 18 1/2

    first, combine 1/3 and x to get x/3

    then, convert 18 1/2 into an improper fraction.

    x/3 - 1/2 = 37/2

    next, we need to isolate the variable by adding 1/2 to both sides

    x/3 = (1+37) / 2

    x/3 = 38/2

    x/3 = 19

    now, we have to do the opposite of what's happening to the variable, so since the variable is in a fraction we multiply both sides by 3 to isolate x

    3 (x/3) = 3 (19)

    x=57
