Question

The sum of the reciprocal of a number and 5/6 is 13/12. Find the number.

Answer 1

$\frac1x+\frac56=\frac{13}{12}\ \ \ \ |\cdot12\\ 12\cdot\frac1x+12\cdot\frac56=12\cdot\frac{13}{12}\\ \frac{12}x+\frac{60}6=13\\ \frac{12}x+10=13\ \to \ \frac{12}x=3\ \to \ \boxed{x=4}$

Answer 2

I would have to go with x=4
