To solve this equation, we need to first simplify the fractions.
Convert 2 4/5 to an improper fraction:2 4/5 = (2 * 5 + 4)/5 = 14/5
Now our equation becomes:1/4x + 5/12 = 14/5 + 7/10
Next, find a common denominator, which in this case is 60:15/60x + 25/60 = 168/60 + 42/60
Now add the fractions:15/60x + 25/60 = 210/60
Subtract 25/60 from both sides:15/60x = 185/60
Divide both sides by 15/60:x = (185/60) / (15/60)x = 185/15x = 37/3
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 37/3.
