Solve the equation $$ \frac{x+1}{12}=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{x-2}{4} $$.
Solve the equation by following steps:
- step0: Solve for $$x$$:
  $$\frac{x+1}{12}=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{x-2}{4}$$
- step1: Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD:
  $$\frac{x+1}{12}	imes 12=\left(\frac{1}{6}+\frac{x-2}{4}ight)	imes 12$$
- step2: Simplify the equation:
  $$x+1=-4+3x$$
- step3: Move the expression to the left side:
  $$x-3x=-4-1$$
- step4: Add and subtract:
  $$-2x=-4-1$$
- step5: Add and subtract:
  $$-2x=-5$$
- step6: Change the signs:
  $$2x=5$$
- step7: Divide both sides:
  $$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$$
- step8: Divide the numbers:
  $$x=\frac{5}{2}$$
The solution to the linear equation $$ \frac{x+1}{12}=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{x-2}{4} $$ is $$ x = \frac{5}{2} $$ or $$ x = 2.5 $$.
$$ x = 2.5 $$
