Question

Which value of x makes x - 3 / 4 + 2/3 equals 17/12 true

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow(x-3)/(4)+(2)/(3)=(17)/(12) \\ \Rightarrow(3x-9+8)/(12)=(17)/(12) \\ \Rightarrow3x-1=17 \\ \Rightarrow3x=18 \\ \Rightarrow x=6 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} (3x)/(4)+2=(5x)/(4)-6 \\ 2+6=(5x)/(4)-(3x)/(4) \\ 8=(2x)/(4) \\ x=16 \end{gathered}`
