<PRE><B>Question 1205252</B>
&lt;br&gt;
Another response from know-it-all &quot;tutor&quot; @MathTherapy that is of absolutely no use to the student....&lt;br&gt;
Well, it takes all kinds to make a world.&lt;br&gt;
{{{(1/2)(x+1)-(x/3)(2x-1)=2/3}}}&lt;br&gt;
Multiply everything by the least common denominator (6) to clear fractions.&lt;br&gt;
{{{3(x+1)-(2x)(2x-1)=4}}}&lt;br&gt;
Expand, combine like terms, and put in standard form for a quadratic.&lt;br&gt;
{{{3x+3-4x^2+2x=4}}}
{{{4x^2-5x+1=0}}}&lt;br&gt;
Factor and solve.&lt;br&gt;
{{{(4x-1)(x-1)=0}}}&lt;br&gt;
x=1/4 or x=1&lt;br&gt;
ANSWERS: 1/4, 1&lt;br&gt;
