To solve the equation, we need to isolate x.
11/18 - x = -4 5/12
First, let's convert the mixed number -4 5/12 to an improper fraction:
-4 5/12 = -4 * 12 + 5 / 12 = -48 + 5 = -43 / 12
Now, the equation becomes:
11/18 - x = -43/12
To get rid of the fractions, we can multiply everything by 36 (the least common denominator of 18 and 12):
36 11/18 - 36x = 36 -43/1222 - 36x = -129
Next, solve for x:
-36x = -129 - 22-36x = -151x = -151 / -36x = 151 / 36
Therefore, the solution to the equation is:
x = 151 / 36

To get rid of the fractions, we can multiply everything by 36 (the least common denominator of 18 and 12):
36 11/18 - 36x = 36 -43/12
22 - 36x = -129
Next, solve for x:
-36x = -129 - 22
-36x = -151
x = -151 / -36
x = 151 / 36
Therefore, the solution to the equation is:
x = 151 / 36
