Question

\(\dfrac{x+1}{15}\)+\(\dfrac{x+2}{14}\)=\(\dfrac{x+3}{13}\)+\(\dfrac{x+4}{12}\)

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{x+1}{15}+\dfrac{x+2}{14}=\dfrac{x+3}{13}+\dfrac{x+4}{12}\\ \Rightarrow\left(\dfrac{x+1}{15}+1\right)+\left(\dfrac{x+2}{14}+1\right)-\left(\dfrac{x+3}{13}+1\right)-\left(\dfrac{x+4}{12}+1\right)=0\\ \dfrac{x+16}{15}+\dfrac{x+16}{14}-\dfrac{x+16}{13}-\dfrac{x+16}{12}=0\\ \left(x+16\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{14}-\dfrac{1}{13}-\dfrac{1}{12}\right)=0\\ x+16=0\\ x=-16\)
