To solve the first equation:1/3 + 4/5 - 1/12
We need to find a common denominator for all the fractions, which in this case is 60.
Rewriting the fractions with the common denominator:20/60 + 48/60 - 5/60
Performing addition:20/60 + 48/60 = 68/6068/60 - 5/60 = 63/60
63/60 simplifies to 21/20
Therefore, 1/3 + 4/5 - 1/12 = 21/20
For the second equation:2/7 - 1/6 + 1/9
Again, finding a common denominator which is 126:
Rewriting the fractions with the common denominator:36/126 - 21/126 + 14/126
Performing subtraction:36/126 - 21/126 = 15/12615/126 + 14/126 = 29/126
Therefore, 2/7 - 1/6 + 1/9 = 29/126
