x + 3/4 = 1 7/12

Answer 1

To solve for x, we first need to convert the mixed number on the right side of the equation to an improper fraction:

1 7/12 = 12/12 + 7/12 = 19/12

Now, we can rewrite the equation:

x + 3/4 = 19/12

To get rid of the fraction on the left side, we need to find a common denominator for 4 and 12, which is 12. Therefore, we need to rewrite 3/4 as 9/12:

x + 9/12 = 19/12

Now, we can subtract 9/12 from both sides to solve for x:

x = 19/12 - 9/12
x = 10/12
x = 5/6

Therefore, the value of x is 5/6.
