Assertion (A): Multiplying both sides of \frac{x}{3} - \frac{x}{4} = 2 by 12 gives 4x - 3x = 24, so x = 24. Reason (R): To remove fractions from an equation, we multiply both sides by the HCF of the denominators.

Assertion-ReasonReducing Equations Involving Fractions to Simple Linear Form

The value of x for which \frac{x}{3} + \frac{x}{4} = 14 is:

The base of an isosceles triangle is \frac{5}{2} cm and its perimeter is 8\frac{1}{2} cm. The length of each equal side is:

Reducing Equations Involving Fractions to Simple Linear Form

If \frac{x + 1}{2} = \frac{x - 1}{3}, then x = -5.

Solve: \frac{x}{4} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{x}{6} + \frac{1}{2}

Solve: \frac{2m - 1}{3} - \frac{m + 2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

Solve: \frac{x - 2}{3} + \frac{x + 1}{4} = \frac{2x + 5}{6}
