Find the value of $x$
$\frac{x+2}{2}- \frac{x+1}{5}=\frac{x-3}{4}-1$
Given:
$\frac{x+2}{2}- \frac{x+1}{5}=\frac{x-3}{4}-1$
To find: The value of $x$
Solution:
$\frac{x+2}{2}- \frac{x+1}{5}=\frac{x-3}{4}-1$
Take LCM on both sides
$\frac{5(x+2)}{10}-\frac{2(x+1)}{10}$= $\frac{x-3-4}{4}$
$\frac{5x+10}{10}-\frac{2x+2}{10}=\frac{x-7}{4}$
$\frac{5x+10-2x-2}{10} = \frac{x-7}{4}$
$\frac{13x-2}{10}= \frac{x-7}{4}$
$4(13x-2)=10(x-7)$
$52x-8=10x-70$
$52x-10x=-70+8$
$42x=-62$
$x=\frac{-62}{40}$
$x=\frac{-31}{20}$
Therefore the value of $x=\frac{-31}{20}$
