To solve the first equation, we need to isolate x.
18 17/24 - x = 15 9/16
First, convert both sides to improper fractions:
(18 24 + 17) / 24 - x = (15 16 + 9) / 16
(432 + 17) / 24 - x = (240 + 9) / 16
449 / 24 - x = 249 / 16
Now, find a common denominator for both fractions:
449 4 / (24 4) - x = 249 3 / (16 3)
1796 / 96 - x = 747 / 48
19 - x = 15.5625
-x = -3.4375
x = 3.4375
So, x = 3 7/16
Moving on to the second equation:
(x + 11/24) - 5/6 = 10 7/8
(x + 11/24) - 5/6 = 87/8
(x + 11/24) - 20/24 = 87/8
x - 9/24 = 87/8
x - 3/8 = 87/8
x = 87/8 + 3/8
x = 90/8
x = 11 1/4
Lastly, for the third equation:
(x - 3/4) + 5/12 = 12 13/24
(x - 3/4) + 5/12 = 307/24
(x - 3/4) + 2/3 = 307/24
(x - 3/4) + 8/12 = 307/24
x - 3/4 = 307/24 - 16/24
x - 3/4 = 291/24
x = 291/24 + 3/4
x = 291/24 + 18/24
x = 309/24
x = 12 21/24
Therefore, the solutions are:
x = 3 7/16x = 11 1/4x = 12 21/24
To solve the first equation, we need to isolate x.

x - 3/4 = 307/24 - 16/24
x - 3/4 = 291/24
x - 3/4 = 291/24
x = 291/24 + 3/4
x = 291/24 + 18/24
x = 309/24
x = 12 21/24
Therefore, the solutions are:
x = 3 7/16
x = 11 1/4
x = 12 21/24
