Answer,

X = 3/4

Explanation,

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3.25 + 0.5x + (1)(1)/3 + 5/6x = (5)(11)/12

3.25 + 0.5x + 1/3 + 5/6x = 55/12

(0.5x + 5/6x) + (3.25 + 1/3) = 55/12 (Combine Like Terms)

4/3x + 3.583333 = 55/12

4/3x + 3.583333 = 55/12

Step 2: Subtract 3.583333 from both sides.

4/3x + 3.583333 − 3.583333 = 55/12 − 3.583333

4/3x = 1

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3/4.

(3/4) * (4/3x) = (3/4) * (1)

x = 3/4
