Solve 11/4+x/3=7/12

$$1 \frac { 1 } { 4 } + \frac { x } { 3 } = \frac { 7 } { 12 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,3,12.

$$3\left(1\times 4+1\right)+4x=7$$

Multiply 1 and 4 to get 4.

$$3\left(4+1\right)+4x=7$$

Add 4 and 1 to get 5.

$$3\times 5+4x=7$$

Multiply 3 and 5 to get 15.

$$15+4x=7$$

Subtract 15 from both sides.

$$4x=7-15$$

Subtract 15 from 7 to get -8.

$$4x=-8$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$x=\frac{-8}{4}$$

Divide -8 by 4 to get -2.

$$x=-2$$
