Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Thank you for the note. You show what you want like this.

X/3 + (x - 1)/4 = 2+X         Multiply both sides by 12.

[tex]\frac{12*x}{3} + \frac{12*(x -1)}{4} = 12(x + 2)[/tex]

Now take mini steps.

1. Divide 3 into 12

4x

2. Divide 4 into 12

3(x - 1)

========================

Here's what you have.

4x + 3(x - 1) = 12(x + 2)                        Remove the brackets.

4x + 3x - 3 = 12x + 24                         Combine like terms

7x - 3 = 12x + 24                                 Subtract 7x from both sides.

- 3 = 12x - 7x +24

-3 = 5x + 24                                        Subtract 24 from both sides.

-27 = 5x                                              Divide by 5

x = -5.4
