The image contains two equations that need to be solved. Let's break them down and solve them step by step.

Problem a)

The equation is:

$\left(x - \frac{1}{4} \right) + 3 \frac{1}{12} = 7 \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{2}{24} - x \right) + 3 \frac{1}{12}$

We'll begin by simplifying this equation. First, express the mixed fractions as improper fractions:

$3 \frac{1}{12} = \frac{37}{12}, \quad 7 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{22}{3}, \quad 3 \frac{1}{12} = \frac{37}{12}$

Now, the equation becomes:

$\left( x - \frac{1}{4} \right) + \frac{37}{12} = \frac{22}{3} \left( \frac{2}{24} - x \right) + \frac{37}{12}$

Next, let's solve for $x$ by simplifying further. We can eliminate fractions by finding a common denominator, or perform algebraic steps to isolate $x$.

Problem b)

The equation is:

$6 \frac{2}{3} - \left( x + \frac{1}{4} \right) = 2 \frac{1}{6}, \quad 2 \frac{1}{24} + x + \frac{1}{12} = 2 \frac{1}{6}$

Again, convert mixed numbers into improper fractions:

$6 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{3}, \quad 2 \frac{1}{6} = \frac{13}{6}, \quad 2 \frac{1}{24} = \frac{49}{24}$

Substitute these into the equation to simplify and solve for $x$.
