To solve this equation, we first need to simplify the left side by finding a common denominator for the fractions.
2 1/6 can be written as 13/6 and 1 1/12 can be written as 13/12.
So the equation becomes:
13/6 - (x + 13/12) = 0.25
Next, we distribute the negative sign:
13/6 - x - 13/12 = 0.25
Now we simplify by finding a common denominator for the fractions on the left side:
26/12 - x - 13/12 = 0.25
Combine the fractions on the left side:
(26 - 13)/12 - x = 0.2513/12 - x = 0.25
Next, we isolate the variable by subtracting 13/12 from both sides:
-x = 0.25 - 13/12-x = 0.25 - 1.0833-x = -0.8333
Finally, to solve for x, we multiply both sides by -1:
x = 0.8333
Therefore, the solution to the equation 2 1/6 - (x + 1 1/12) = 0.25 is x = 0.8333.
