Question
1. **Solve the equations algebraically.**

   a. \(\frac{x-2}{3} + \frac{x+5}{3} = \frac{1}{6}\)
   
   Work shown:
   - Multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate the fraction: \(2x - 4 + 3x + 15 = 1\)
   - Combine like terms: \(5x + 11\)
   - Correct equation: \(5x - 11 = 2\)
   
   b. \(6x^2 + 7x = 3\)
   
   c. \(|4x + 1| = 3\)
   
   d. \(4x^2 - 4x + 2 = 0\)
