I just have a question. I’ve been getting help with this problem. It doesn’t show it fully but it’s “ share of first person + share of second person+ share of third person=1”. On step b where it says 12-7-2/12, where is the 2 coming from. I understand the LCM part but I’m not seeing where the 2 comes from.

Expert Answer
Step1
a)
Given info:
Share of first person + Share of second person
7
1
12
+ 6 +x = 1
Step2
b)
Note that when moving right to the equal sign,
positive value becomes negative and vice versa.
Thus, in the above expression, 12 and i
moved to right side of the equal sign to find the
unknown value x. Hence, it is written as follows:
are
Share of first person + Share of second person
7
1
12
6 + x = 1
7

1 -
12
12–7-2
