Answer: x= 385/12

Explanation:

You would first change the denominator to some number that is common. Then combine the like terms. Lastly, subtract the fraction from the equal and you get your x.


(13)/(4) +(1)/(6) +x=(71)/(2) \\((39)/(12))+((2)/(12))+x=(426)/(12) \\(41)/(12)+x=(426)/(12) \\x=(385)/(12)
