x < \(\frac{3}{2}\)
B
x > \(\frac{3}{2}\)
C

Correct Option: B

(\frac{1}{2})x + (\frac{1}{4}) > (\frac{1}{3})x + (\frac{1}{2})

Multiply through by through by the LCM of 2, 3 and 4

12 x (\frac{1}{2})x + 12 x (\frac{1}{4}) > 12 x (\frac{1}{3})x + 12 x (\frac{1}{2})

6x + 3 > 4x + 6

6x - 4x > 6 - 3

2x > 3

(\frac{2x}{2}) > (\frac{3}{2})

x > (\frac{3}{2})
