Let \(x\) be a real number such that \(x + \frac{x}{4} + \frac{x}{3} \lt 13\) .Then the solution set is

  • A.\(\left(-\infty, \frac{156}{19}\right)\)
  • B.\(\left(\frac{156}{19}, \infty\right)\)
  • C.\(\left(\frac{154}{19}, \infty\right)\)
  • D.\(\left(-\infty, \frac{154}{17}\right)\)
  • E.\(\left(\frac{-156}{19}, \frac{156}{19}\right)\)

Answer: A

The solution set is \(\left(-\infty, \frac{156}{19}\right)\).

Combine the terms with denominator 12:

\[ \begin{aligned} x\left(1 + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{3}\right) &= \frac{19x}{12} \lt 13 \\ x &\lt \frac{156}{19} \end{aligned} \]

The intervals that extend to \(+\infty\) reverse the inequality, and 154 or 17 come from arithmetic slips.
