You asked:

Solve the equation \(5 - \frac{2 x - 1}{4} = \frac{x + 2}{3}\) for the variable \(x\).

MathBot Answer:

The solution is: \[x = \frac{11}{2} = 5.5\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{21}{4} - \frac{x}{2} &= \frac{x}{3} + \frac{2}{3}\\- \frac{5 x}{6} &= - \frac{55}{12}\\x &= \frac{11}{2}\end{aligned}\]
