Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

1−x=1/3+3/12

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1−x=1/3+3/12

1+−x=1/3+1/4−x+1=(1/3+1/4)

(Combine Like Terms)

−x+1=7/12−x+1=7/12

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

−x+1−1=7/12−1−x=−5/12

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−x−1=−5/12−1x=5/12

Answer: x=5/12
