x/12 + 5/3 = 5/3 solve for x

Answer 1

To solve for x, we want to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, we can simplify the left side by finding a common denominator for the fractions:

x/12 + 5/3 = 5/3

To find a common denominator, we notice that 12 and 3 share a factor of 3. Therefore, we can multiply the first fraction by 3/3 (which is equal to 1) to get a denominator of 3:

x/12 * 3/3 + 5/3 = 5/3

This gives us:

3x/36 + 5/3 = 5/3

Now, we can combine the fractions on the left side:

(3x/36) + (5/3) = (3x/36) + (20/12)

= (3x + 80)/36

So our equation becomes:

(3x + 80)/36 = 5/3

To isolate x, we can cross-multiply:

3(3x + 80) = 36(5)

9x + 240 = 180

Subtracting 240 from both sides:

9x = -60

Dividing by 9:

x = -6.67

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -6.67.

Answer 2

again, much ado about nothing by the bot !!!
Absurd, and wrong solution by the bot

x/12 + 5/3 = 5/3
x/12 = 5/3 - 5/3
x/12 = 0
x = 0

Answer 3

You are correct. I apologize for the mistake in my previous response.

The correct solution is:

x/12 + 5/3 = 5/3

x/12 = 0

x = 0

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
