Question

What is 1 3/4 + 1/6 + ? = 7 1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5  7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = ?

7/4 + 1/6 + x = 15/2

multiply the equation by 12 to eliminate fractions

12($\frac{7}{4}$) + 12($\frac{1}{6}$) +12x = 12($\frac{15}{2}$)

21 + 2 + 12x = 90

23 + 12x = 90

12x = 90 - 23

12x = 67

x = 67/12 = 5 7/12
