You didn't really need the LCD to start.
X terms on one side.
Constant terms on the other.




Now multiply numerator and denominator by the LCD.

Determine x in the following:
b/a - dx/c = ax/b - c/d.
lcd = acbd
bcd/a - dxab/c = axcd/b - acbx/d
Unsure how to continue. Thanks.

Yes, LCD is abcd
b(bcd) - dx(abd) = ax(acd) - c(abc) -------- Multiplying by LCD, abcd

------- Adding to both sides
------- Adding to both sides
