Question

26. Solve:
a) x/2-1/4(x-1/3)=1/6(x + 1)+1/12
b) 3x -x-2/3=4-x-1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

a) x/2-1/4(x-1/3) =1/6(x+1) +1/12

2x/4-1/4(x-1/3) =2/12(x+1) +1/12

[2x-x+1/3]\4=[2x+2+1]\12

3[x+1/3]=2x+3

3x+1=2x+3

3x-2x=3-1

x=2

b) 3x-x-2/3=4-x-1/4

2x-2/3=[16-4x-1]\4

[6x-2]\3=[15-4x]\4

24x-8=45-12x

24x+12x=45+8

36x=53

x=53/36
