1)
1 1/12 + 3 3/4 + x = 4 1/2
1 1/12 + 3 9/12 + x = 4 1/2
4 10/12 + x = 4 1/2
x = 4 1/2 - 4 5/6
x = - (4 5/6 - 4 3/6)
x = - 2/6
x = -1/3
2)
-( 5 2/3 - 1 3/5) - x = 6 1/3
-(5 10/15 - 1 9/15) - x = 6 1/3
-4 1/15 - x = 6 1/3
x = -(6 1/3 + 4 1/15)
x = -(6 5/15 + 4 1/15)
x = - 10 6/15
x = -10 2/5
3)
x - (7 10/18 - 5 3/18) = -3 1/2
x - 2 7/18 = -3 1/2
x = -(3 1/2 - 2 7/18)
x = -(3 9/18 - 2 7/18)
x = -1 2/18
x = -1 1/9
4)
x - (-4 3/5 + 3 4/7) = -8 1/14
x + 4 21/35 - 3 20/35 = -8 1/14
x + 1 1/35 = -8 1/14
x = -(8 1/14 + 1 1/35)
x = -(8 5/70 + 1 2/70)
x = -9 7/70
x = -9 1/10
