The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{4} = \frac{x}{6} + \frac{7}{6} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find a common denominator The denominators in the equation are 2, 4, and 6. The least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers is 12. ### Step 2: Rewrite each term with the common denominator We will multiply each term by 12 to eliminate the fractions: \[ 12 \left( \frac{x}{2} \right) + 12 \left( \frac{x}{4} \right) = 12 \left( \frac{x}{6} \right) + 12 \left( \frac{7}{6} \right) \] ### Step 3: Simplify each term Calculating each term gives: \[ 6x + 3x = 2x + 14 \] ### Step 4: Combine like terms Now, combine the terms on the left side: \[ 9x = 2x + 14 \] ### Step 5: Isolate the variable To isolate \( x \), subtract \( 2x \) from both sides: \[ 9x - 2x = 14 \] \[ 7x = 14 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( x \) Now, divide both sides by 7: \[ x = \frac{14}{7} \] \[ x = 2 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solution to the equation is: \[ \boxed{2} \] ---
