Question

5/6x+1/12= 15 1/3+1/3xsolve for x

Answer 1

x = 61/2 = 30.5 = 60 1/2

Explanation:

We have:

`(5)/(6)x+(1)/(12)=15+(1)/(3)+(1)/(3)x`

We have to find the Least Common Multiple to solve this question:

`\begin{gathered} (2\cdot5x+1=12\cdot15+4+4x)/(12) \\ (10x+1=180+4+4x)/(12) \\ 10x+1=180+4+4x \\ 10x-4x=180+4-1 \\ 6x=183 \\ x=(183)/(6) \\ x=(61)/(2)=30.5=30(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`
