The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \[ \frac{3x-2}{3} + \frac{2x+3}{2} = x + \frac{7}{6} \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equation We start with the given equation: \[ \frac{3x-2}{3} + \frac{2x+3}{2} = x + \frac{7}{6} \] ### Step 2: Find the LCM of the denominators The denominators in the equation are 3, 2, and 6. The least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers is 6. ### Step 3: Rewrite each term with the LCM Now, we will rewrite each fraction with a denominator of 6: - For \(\frac{3x-2}{3}\), we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2: \[ \frac{2(3x-2)}{6} = \frac{6x - 4}{6} \] - For \(\frac{2x+3}{2}\), we multiply the numerator and denominator by 3: \[ \frac{3(2x+3)}{6} = \frac{6x + 9}{6} \] - The term \(x + \frac{7}{6}\) can be rewritten as: \[ \frac{6x}{6} + \frac{7}{6} = \frac{6x + 7}{6} \] ### Step 4: Combine the left-hand side Now we can combine the left-hand side: \[ \frac{6x - 4 + 6x + 9}{6} = \frac{12x + 5}{6} \] ### Step 5: Set the equation Now we have: \[ \frac{12x + 5}{6} = \frac{6x + 7}{6} \] ### Step 6: Eliminate the denominators Since both sides have the same denominator, we can eliminate it: \[ 12x + 5 = 6x + 7 \] ### Step 7: Move all x terms to one side Subtract \(6x\) from both sides: \[ 12x - 6x + 5 = 7 \] This simplifies to: \[ 6x + 5 = 7 \] ### Step 8: Move constant terms to the other side Subtract 5 from both sides: \[ 6x = 7 - 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ 6x = 2 \] ### Step 9: Solve for x Now, divide both sides by 6: \[ x = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solution to the equation is: \[ x = \frac{1}{3} \] ---
