You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"7%2F3-x%2F3=x%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "First, get the \"x\" terms on one side of the equation:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F4%2Bx%2F3=7%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now you need to add these two fractions on the left side of the equation. Use the same approach as adding any fraction - first find the LCD and rewrite the fractions in terms of this LCD. In this case, the LCD is 12. So we have:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%2F12%2B4x%2F12=7%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now, you can add the fractions on the left side:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x%2F12=7%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "And solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x=12%2A7%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x=28\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=4%29\"$
