The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \((x-2)/4 + 1/3 = x - (2x-1)/3\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify the equation We start with the equation: \[ \frac{x-2}{4} + \frac{1}{3} = x - \frac{2x-1}{3} \] ### Step 2: Find a common denominator The denominators are 4 and 3. The least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 3 is 12. We will multiply every term by 12 to eliminate the fractions: \[ 12 \cdot \left(\frac{x-2}{4}\right) + 12 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{3}\right) = 12 \cdot \left(x - \frac{2x-1}{3}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ 3(x-2) + 4 = 12x - 4(2x-1) \] ### Step 3: Distribute and simplify Now we distribute: \[ 3x - 6 + 4 = 12x - (8x - 4) \] This simplifies to: \[ 3x - 2 = 12x - 8x + 4 \] Which further simplifies to: \[ 3x - 2 = 4x + 4 \] ### Step 4: Rearrange the equation Now, we will rearrange the equation to isolate \(x\): \[ 3x - 4x = 4 + 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ -x = 6 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(x\) To find \(x\), we multiply both sides by -1: \[ x = -6 \] ### Final Answer The solution to the equation is: \[ \boxed{-6} \]
