2123=1223 and 285=825. Try again.simplifying both sides
23/12+x=25/8(9/4)x=21/8clearing the x by multiplying by the multiplicative inverse
(4/9)∗(9/4)x=(4/9)∗(21/8)7/6=11/6
Eddy, you should learn how to write fractions in LaTex. Copy and paste the following line into the "Insert math" screen. Adapt a and b to your needs.23/12+x=25/8simplifying
27/12+x=21/89/4+x=21/8
now subtractin' 9/4 from both sides
x+9/4−9/4=21/8−9/4subtracting the fractions on the right hand side
x=3/8
checking
23/12+3/8=25/8simplifying
21/4+3/89/4+3/821/8=25/8
