Algerba! One question!

[PennyRoyal]

Hi guys I need a hand with a simple algerba question for homework for my niece, I am not great with numbers so an answer and explantion would be great

Problem:

x/2 +1/3 = 11/4

What is x:

May be basic for some however I do not study maths in any my school courses

x=29/6

(i did it kind of in a hurry so my answer may be wrong)

 

x/2 = 11/4 - 1/3
x/2 = 33/12 - 4/12
x/2 = 29/12
x = 2(29/12)
x = 58/12

x = 29/6, as Heads said

Multiply by 6 to eliminate the fractions leaving you with
3x+2=66/4
Subtract 2
58/4=3x
Divide by 3
58/12=x
Reduce
29/6=x
