You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if you are finding the solution of x ,
use cross multiply
so ,
(2x - 1)(3x + 4) = (x + 4)(x + 3)
6x^2 + 8x - 3x - 4 = x^2 + 3x + 4x + 12
6x^2 - x^2 + 5x - 7x - 4 - 12 = 0
5x^2 - 2x - 16 = 0
use x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
so it will be

x+=+%28+2+%2B-+sqrt%28+324+%29%29%2F%28+10+%29+
2 +- 18 / 10
x = (2+18)/10 or (2-18)/10
x = 2 or -1.6
