The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \[ \frac{3x - 2}{4} - \frac{2x + 3}{3} = \frac{2}{3} - x, \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator. The denominators in the equation are 4 and 3. The least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 3 is 12. We will multiply each term by 12 to eliminate the fractions. \[ 12 \left(\frac{3x - 2}{4}\right) - 12 \left(\frac{2x + 3}{3}\right) = 12 \left(\frac{2}{3}\right) - 12x. \] ### Step 2: Simplify each term. Now we simplify each term: 1. \(12 \left(\frac{3x - 2}{4}\right) = 3(3x - 2) = 9x - 6\), 2. \(12 \left(\frac{2x + 3}{3}\right) = 4(2x + 3) = 8x + 12\), 3. \(12 \left(\frac{2}{3}\right) = 8\). Putting it all together, we have: \[ 9x - 6 - (8x + 12) = 8 - 12x. \] ### Step 3: Distribute and combine like terms. Distributing the negative sign in the left side: \[ 9x - 6 - 8x - 12 = 8 - 12x. \] Now combine like terms on the left side: \[ (9x - 8x) + (-6 - 12) = 8 - 12x, \] which simplifies to: \[ x - 18 = 8 - 12x. \] ### Step 4: Move all terms involving \(x\) to one side. Add \(12x\) to both sides: \[ x + 12x - 18 = 8. \] This simplifies to: \[ 13x - 18 = 8. \] ### Step 5: Move the constant to the other side. Add 18 to both sides: \[ 13x = 8 + 18, \] which simplifies to: \[ 13x = 26. \] ### Step 6: Solve for \(x\). Divide both sides by 13: \[ x = \frac{26}{13} = 2. \] Thus, the solution to the equation is \[ \boxed{2}. \] ---
