Question 349806


{{{x/2+x/4=4}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4(x/cross(2)+x/cross(4))=4(4)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{4}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{2x+x=16}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{3x=16}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(16)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=16/3}}} which approximates to {{{x=5.333}}}.
