<span>6( 5-8x) +12= -54
30-48x+12=-54 this comes from distributing(multiplying) 6x5 and 6 times -8x
30+12-48x=-54 you have to add the coefficients 30+12
42-48x=-54
-42 -42
-----------------------
-48x=-96 divide by -48
x=2</span>

The converted fractions are 3/12 and 5/12 and the sum is 2/3
<h3>How to convert the fractions?</h3>
From the question, the fractions are given as
1/4 and 5/12
The denominators of these fractions are
4 and 12
So. we start by calculating the LCD of the denominators
So, we have
4 = 2* 2
12 = 2 * 2 * 3
This gives
LCD = 2 * 2 * 3
Evaluate
LCD = 12
This means that the common denominator must be 12
So, we have
1/4 and 5/12
Multiply 1/4 by 3/3
This gives
3/12 and 5/12
When the fractions are added, we have
3/12 + 5/12 = (3 + 5)/12
Evaluate
3/12 + 5/12 = 8/12
Reduce fraction
3/12 + 5/12 = 2/3
Hence, the sum of the fractions is 2/3
