Question

(x÷3)+(2x÷3)+(x÷4)=10

Open in App
Solution

(x/3)+(2x/3)+(x/4)=10

​​​​denominator of first two terms are the same ...so we can add it directly ie.
(x/3)+(2x/3)=3x/3
Now we need to make the denominator of the other term same for processing the addition..
So we multiply 3x/3 by 4 and x/4 by 3 on both numerator and denominator..
so we will get the same denominator as 12
((3x *4)/(4*3))+((x*3)/(4*3))
ie.(12x+3x)/12
=15x/12
We need to find the value of x
So 15x/12=10
15x=12*10
15x=120 or
x=120/15
x=8.
