Hello! Welcome to QuestionCove!

Please post your complete question to receive better assistance.

Your question isn't complete as an operation is missing in the parenthesis.

Is it (1/2x - 12)? Or (1/2x + 12)?

Regardless, the first step to solving your question is to use the distributive property
a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b - c) = ab - ac

Distribute the number outside of the parenthesis on both sides. After that, you can add/subtract so that way you get your 'x' on one side of the equal sign and a number on the other side and you can solve for 'x' by multiplying/dividing to finally isolate 'x'
