The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(\frac{x+2}{6} - \left(\frac{11-x}{3} - \frac{1}{4}\right) = \frac{3x-4}{12}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify the left-hand side Start by simplifying the left-hand side of the equation: \[ \frac{x+2}{6} - \left(\frac{11-x}{3} - \frac{1}{4}\right) \] Distributing the negative sign inside the bracket: \[ \frac{x+2}{6} - \frac{11-x}{3} + \frac{1}{4} \] ### Step 2: Find a common denominator The denominators are 6, 3, and 4. The least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers is 12. We will rewrite each term with a denominator of 12: \[ \frac{x+2}{6} = \frac{2(x+2)}{12} = \frac{2x + 4}{12} \] \[ \frac{11-x}{3} = \frac{4(11-x)}{12} = \frac{44 - 4x}{12} \] \[ \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{12} \] Now substituting these back into the equation: \[ \frac{2x + 4}{12} - \frac{44 - 4x}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{3x - 4}{12} \] ### Step 3: Combine the terms on the left-hand side Combine the fractions on the left: \[ \frac{2x + 4 - (44 - 4x) + 3}{12} = \frac{3x - 4}{12} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{2x + 4 - 44 + 4x + 3}{12} = \frac{3x - 4}{12} \] Combine like terms: \[ \frac{6x - 37}{12} = \frac{3x - 4}{12} \] ### Step 4: Eliminate the denominators Since both sides have the same denominator, we can multiply through by 12: \[ 6x - 37 = 3x - 4 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(x\) Rearranging gives: \[ 6x - 3x = -4 + 37 \] \[ 3x = 33 \] \[ x = 11 \] ### Step 6: Check the solution Substituting \(x = 11\) back into the original equation: Left-hand side: \[ \frac{11+2}{6} - \left(\frac{11-11}{3} - \frac{1}{4}\right) = \frac{13}{6} - (0 - \frac{1}{4}) = \frac{13}{6} + \frac{1}{4} \] Finding a common denominator (12): \[ \frac{13 \cdot 2}{12} + \frac{1 \cdot 3}{12} = \frac{26 + 3}{12} = \frac{29}{12} \] Right-hand side: \[ \frac{3(11) - 4}{12} = \frac{33 - 4}{12} = \frac{29}{12} \] Both sides are equal, confirming our solution is correct. ### Final Answer: \[ x = 11 \]
