Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 72 ........

Answer 2

Answer:

x =16

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation is

$\frac{x}{2}   +  \frac{x}{4}   = 12$

On taking the LCM of the denominators 2 and 4 , we get the commom denominator 4.

⇒$\frac{2x  + x }{4}    = 12\\or,   3x  = 12 \times 4$

from here, we get that, x  = 16

Check: Put x = 16 in above equation.

$\frac{16}{2}  + \frac{16}{4}    = 8 +  4  =  12$  =Right Hand Side

⇒ The answer x = 12 is satisfied.
