Question

$$\frac { x - 1 } { 4 } + 2 = 1 + \frac { 2 x + 3 } { 6 }$$

Solve for x

$x=3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $12$, the least common multiple of $4,6$.

$$3\left(x-1\right)+24=12+2\left(2x+3\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $3$ by $x-1$.

$$3x-3+24=12+2\left(2x+3\right)$$

Add $-3$ and $24$ to get $21$.

$$3x+21=12+2\left(2x+3\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $2x+3$.

$$3x+21=12+4x+6$$

Add $12$ and $6$ to get $18$.

$$3x+21=18+4x$$

Subtract $4x$ from both sides.

$$3x+21-4x=18$$

Combine $3x$ and $-4x$ to get $-x$.

$$-x+21=18$$

Subtract $21$ from both sides.

$$-x=18-21$$

Subtract $21$ from $18$ to get $-3$.

$$-x=-3$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$x=3$$
