Q. Solve for x x .\newline17+112x=24 17+\frac{1}{12} x=24 \newlineAnswer: x= x=
  1. Isolate x term: First, we want to isolate the term containing xx on one side of the equation.17+(112)x=2417 + \left(\frac{1}{12}\right)x = 24Subtract 1717 from both sides to move the constant term to the right side.(112)x=2417\left(\frac{1}{12}\right)x = 24 - 17
  2. Calculate right side: Now, calculate the right side of the equation. 112x=7\frac{1}{12}x = 7
  3. Multiply by reciprocal: To solve for xx, multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (1/12)(1/12), which is 1212.12×(112)x=7×1212 \times \left(\frac{1}{12}\right)x = 7 \times 12
  4. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication on both sides. x=84x = 84
