Solve x+7/4=13/3

$$x + \frac { 7 } { 4 } = \frac { 13 } { 3 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{31}{12} = 2\frac{7}{12} \approx 2.583333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{7}{4} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{13}{3}-\frac{7}{4}$$

Least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. Convert \frac{13}{3} and \frac{7}{4} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$x=\frac{52}{12}-\frac{21}{12}$$

Since \frac{52}{12} and \frac{21}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{52-21}{12}$$

Subtract 21 from 52 to get 31.

$$x=\frac{31}{12}$$
