Question

Solve the following equation for the value of $x.$

$\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

• A. 3
• B. 1
• C. 6
• D. 2

Answer 1

The correct option is C 6

Given,
$\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Multiplying both sides by 12, we get,

$(12\times \frac{x}{3})-(12\times \frac{x}{4})=(12\times \frac{1}{2})$

$\Rightarrow 4x-3x=6$
$\Rightarrow x=6$
