First convert the fractions so they have a common denominator (36)
3/12=9/36   4/9=16/36
Then add the whole numbers (as fractions)
9/36+180/36=189/36
16/36+36/36=52/36

189/36-52/36=137/36
Now Simplify
137/36=3 29/36

<em><u>3 29/36</u></em>

What is 4X + 1/2(4X +6)=12
beks73 [17]

Answer:

x = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4X + 1/2(4X +6)=12

Distribute

4x+2x+3 = 12

6x +3 = 12

Subtract 3 from each side

6x+3-3 = 12 -3

6x = 9

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 9/6

x = 3/2
