To solve this equation, we will first combine the fractions on the left side:
4 5/19 + x + 1 1/38 = 12 1/2
Converting the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
(419 + 5)/19 + x + (138 + 1)/38 = 25/2
(76 + 5)/19 + x + (38 + 1)/38 = 25/2
81/19 + x + 39/38 = 25/2
Now, find a common denominator to add the fractions on the left side:
(812)/(192) + x + 39/38 = 12 1/2
162/38 + x + 39/38 = 25/2
Now, combine the fractions:
(162 + 39)/38 + x = 25/2
201/38 + x = 25/2
Next, subtract 201/38 from both sides to isolate x:
x = 25/2 - 201/38
x = 190/38 - 201/38
x = -11/38
Therefore, the value of x is -11/38.
