x = 7 8 ,   y = 1 4 ,   z = 5 12 x + y + z = 7 8 + 1 4 + 5 12
To add fractions, make the denominators same.
Least common multiple of 8 , 4 and 12 is 24.
So making the denominator of each term 24,
x + y + z = 7 8 3 3 + 1 4 6 6 + 5 12 2 2 x + y + z = 21 24 + 6 24 + 10 24 = 21 + 6 + 10 24 = 37 24 x + y + z = 37 24
