$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{7}{12}+\frac{1}{6} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 12 }. \\[1 em]12\cdot\frac{7}{12}+12\cdot\frac{1}{6} &= 12\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]7+2 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]9 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 9 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
