Answer:

17/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2+1/3+1/4=10/12=5/6

5/6-x=-2

5/6+2=x

17/6=x

Answer 2

Answer:

ans is 37/12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no. be x

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

lcm=12

so,

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

13/12 -x =-2

lcm=12

so,

13-12x/12=-2

13-12x=-12

-12x=-24-13

-12x=-37

x=37/12
