Would you please explain the answer of this problem to me.
(2x-1/6) - (x/3) = (x + 4/18)
Thank you very much

Collect individual terms over the Lowest Common Denominators:
([2x*(6/6)]-1/6) - (x/3) = (x + 4/18)
(12x-1)/6 - x/3 = (18x + 4)/18
[(12x-1)/6](3/3) - (x/3)(6/6) = (18x + 4)/18
[3(12x-1)/(6*3) - 6x/(3*6) = (18x + 4)/18
[(36x-3) - 6x]/18 = (18x + 4)/18
Simplify by collecting similar terms:
(30x-3)/18 = (18x + 4)/18
Multiply through both sides to eliminate denominator:
30x-3 = 18x + 4
Collect similar terms on same sides of equality:
30x-18x = 4 + 3
12x = 7
Divide through by 12 to complete solution:
x = 7/12

First you collect the terms ,then solve for x=1/3+1/4

(2x-1/6) - (x/3) = (x + 4/18)
(12x-1)/6 - x/3 =(18x+4)/18
(10x-1)/6 = (18x+4)/18
(10x-1) = (18x+4)/3
30x-3=18x+4
30x-18x=4+3
12x=7
x=7/12

(2x-1/6) - (x/3) = (x + 4/18)
Remove parenthesis
2x-1/6 - x/3 = x + 4/18
Multiply by 18 (LCD)
36x-3-6x = 18x + 4
Collect terms
12x = 7
x = 7/12
