Question
$$\frac{11}{12}-\frac{3}{4}+2 = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{11}{12}-\frac{3}{4}+2 &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 12 }. \\[1 em]12\cdot\frac{11}{12}-12\cdot\frac{3}{4}+12\cdot2 &= 12\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]11-9+24 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]26 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 26 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
