\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}=1
Combine \frac{1}{4}x and \frac{1}{12}x to get \frac{1}{3}x.
\frac{1}{3}x=1+\frac{2}{3}
Add \frac{2}{3} to both sides.
\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{3}{3}+\frac{2}{3}
Convert 1 to fraction \frac{3}{3}.
\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{3+2}{3}
Since \frac{3}{3} and \frac{2}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{5}{3}
Add 3 and 2 to get 5.
x=\frac{5}{3}\times 3
Multiply both sides by 3, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{3}.
x=5
Cancel out 3 and 3.
