Question

Solve for the variable in this equation.

x/2-2/3=1/4

Answer 1

Is this the equation?
\[
\frac{x}{2}-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{4}
\]

Answer 2

Yes:)

Answer 3

Will you help me??

Answer 4

x/2 = 1/4 - 2/3

x/2 = 3/12 - 8/12

x/2 = -5/12

2* x/2 = (-5/12) * 2

x = -10/12

x = -5/6

Answer 5

Do you see how I did that?

Answer 6

\[
\begin{align*}
\frac{x}{2}-\frac{2}{3}&=\frac{1}{4} \\
\frac{x}{2}&=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{3} \\
\frac{x}{2}&=\frac{1\times 3}{4 \times 3}+\frac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 4} \\
\frac{x}{2}&=\frac{3}{12}+\frac{8}{12} \\
\frac{x}{2}&=\frac{11}{12}
\end{align*}
\]
Finish the last step oin your own.

Answer 7

yes but the answer is actually 1 5/6

Answer 8

Yes. It is \(1\frac{5}{6}\).
