Question

Solve : x + 1/2 + x + 2/3 − x + 3/4 = 2

Answer 1

x = 1/12

Explanation:

x+x-x = x

1/2 + 2/3 + 3/4 = 23/12

both of the above are:

23/12 +x = 2

x= 2 - 23/12

x= 1/12

Answer 2

x= 1 7/12

Explanation:

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

1. We know that x+x-x=x

2. 1/2+2/3-3/4=6/12+8/12-9/12=5/12

3. x+5/12=2

4. x=2-5/12

x=1 7/12
