Answer: x = 4

Explanation:

u first subtract x/3 from both sides

x/4 + 1/2 - x/3 = x/3 + 1/6 - x/3

then u simplify

1/2 - x/12 = 1/6

Then u subract 1/2 from both sides

1/2 - x/12 - 1/2 = 1/6 - 1/2

Then u multiply both sides by 12

12(- x/12) = 12 (-1/3)

then u simplify

- x = - 4

then u divide both sides by -1

-x/-1 = -4/-1

then u simply and get 4

Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

Given


(x)/(4) +
(1)/(2) =
(x)/(3) +
(1)/(6)

Multiply through by 12 ( the LCM of 4, 2, 3, 6 ) to clear the fractions

3x + 6 = 4x + 2 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

6 = x + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

4 = x
