Explanation:


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

find a common denominator of 12 for each fraction


(3)/(3) * ((2x - 1))/(4) + (4)/(4) * (x)/(3) = (12)/(12) * (2)/(1)


(6x - 3)/(12) + (4x)/(12) = (24)/(12)


(6x - 3 + 4x)/(12) = (24)/(12)


(10x - 3)/(12) = (24)/(12)

multiply both sides by 12


12 * (10x - 3)/(12) = (24)/(12) * 12

12s cancel out


10x - 3 = 24

add three to both sides


10x - 3 + 3 = 24 + 3


10x = 27

divide both sides by 10


(10x)/(10) = (27)/(10)

The tens on the left side cancel


x = (27)/(10) = 2.7
