1. **State the problem:** We need to find the solution for each linear equation and match it to one of the numbers: -3, -2, 3, or 7.
2. **Equation 1:** $$\frac{1}{4} x + \frac{5}{3} x - 4 = 2 - \frac{1}{12} x$$
Combine like terms on the left:
$$\frac{1}{4} x + \frac{5}{3} x = \frac{3}{12} x + \frac{20}{12} x = \frac{23}{12} x$$
Rewrite equation:
$$\frac{23}{12} x - 4 = 2 - \frac{1}{12} x$$
Add $\frac{1}{12} x$ to both sides:
$$\frac{23}{12} x + \frac{1}{12} x - 4 = 2$$
$$\frac{24}{12} x - 4 = 2$$
Simplify fraction:
$$2 x - 4 = 2$$
Add 4 to both sides:
$$2 x = 6$$
Divide both sides by 2:
$$x = \frac{6}{2}$$
$$x = 3$$
3. **Equation 2:** $$3.2 b - 4.7 = 3 b - 3.3$$
Subtract $3 b$ from both sides:
$$3.2 b - 3 b - 4.7 = -3.3$$
$$0.2 b - 4.7 = -3.3$$
Add 4.7 to both sides:
$$0.2 b = 1.4$$
Divide both sides by 0.2:
$$b = \frac{1.4}{0.2}$$
$$b = 7$$
4. **Equation 3:** $$4.6 y - y + 4 = y - 1.2$$
Combine like terms on the left:
$$3.6 y + 4 = y - 1.2$$
Subtract $y$ from both sides:
$$3.6 y - y + 4 = -1.2$$
$$2.6 y + 4 = -1.2$$
Subtract 4 from both sides:
$$2.6 y = -5.2$$
Divide both sides by 2.6:
$$y = \frac{-5.2}{2.6}$$
$$y = -2$$
5. **Equation 4:** $$7.5 c - 2.5 c + 8 = -7$$
Combine like terms on the left:
$$5 c + 8 = -7$$
Subtract 8 from both sides:
$$5 c = -15$$
Divide both sides by 5:
$$c = \frac{-15}{5}$$
$$c = -3$$
**Final matches:**
- Equation 1 solution: 3
- Equation 2 solution: 7
- Equation 3 solution: -2
- Equation 4 solution: -3
