Solve the equation and also verify your solution:x/2 + x/3 + x/4 = 13 |

Answer» We have, x/2 + x/3 + x/4 = 13 let us take LCM for 2, 3 and 4 which is 12 (x×6)/12 + (x×4)/12 + (x×3)/12 = 13 6x/12 + 4x/12 + 3x/12 = 13 (6x+4x+3x)/12 = 13 13x/12 = 13 By using cross-multiplication we get, 13x = 12×13 x = 156/13 = 12 ∴ x = 12 |
