Solve 7/12+1/3=x

$$\frac { 7 } { 12 } + \frac { 1 } { 3 } = x$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{11}{12}\approx 0.916666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Least common multiple of 12 and 3 is 12. Convert \frac{7}{12} and \frac{1}{3} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$\frac{7}{12}+\frac{4}{12}=x$$

Since \frac{7}{12} and \frac{4}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{7+4}{12}=x$$

Add 7 and 4 to get 11.

$$\frac{11}{12}=x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x=\frac{11}{12}$$
