Question

What should be subtracted from (1/2+1/3+1/4) to get -2​

Answer 1

x = 37/12 Or x = 3 1/12

Explanation:

1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 - x = - 2

6/12 + 4/12 + 3/12 - x = - 2

6 + 4 + 3 / 12 - x = - 2

13/12 - x = - 2

x = 13/12 + 2

x = 13/12 + 24/12

x = 37/12 Or x = 3 1/12

Answer 2

1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 - x = - 2

6/12 + 4/12 + 3/12 - x = - 2

6 + 4 + 3 / 12 - x = - 2

13/12 - x = - 2

x = 13/12 + 2

x = 13/12 + 24/12

x = 37/12 Or x = 3 1/12
