The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( x - \frac{x-1}{2} = 1 - \frac{x-2}{3} \), follow these steps: 1. **Write the given equation:** \[ x - \frac{x-1}{2} = 1 - \frac{x-2}{3} \] 2. **Make the denominators the same:** - The denominators are 2 and 3. The least common multiple (LCM) of 2 and 3 is 6. - Multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate the denominators. \[ 6 \left( x - \frac{x-1}{2} \right) = 6 \left( 1 - \frac{x-2}{3} \right) \] 3. **Distribute 6 to each term inside the parentheses:** \[ 6x - 6 \cdot \frac{x-1}{2} = 6 \cdot 1 - 6 \cdot \frac{x-2}{3} \] 4. **Simplify each term:** - \( 6 \cdot \frac{x-1}{2} = 3(x-1) \) - \( 6 \cdot \frac{x-2}{3} = 2(x-2) \) So, the equation becomes: \[ 6x - 3(x-1) = 6 - 2(x-2) \] 5. **Distribute and simplify:** \[ 6x - 3x + 3 = 6 - 2x + 4 \] 6. **Combine like terms:** \[ 3x + 3 = 10 - 2x \] 7. **Move all terms involving \( x \) to one side and constants to the other side:** \[ 3x + 2x = 10 - 3 \] 8. **Combine like terms:** \[ 5x = 7 \] 9. **Solve for \( x \):** \[ x = \frac{7}{5} \] So, the solution to the equation is: \[ x = \frac{7}{5} \]
