%283%2F4%29x-3=6 Start with the given equation.


cross%284%29%28%283%2Fcross%284%29%29x%29-4%283%29=4%286%29 Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 4 to clear any fractions.


3x-12=24 Multiply and simplify.


3x=24%2B12 Add 12 to both sides.


3x=36 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2836%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.


x=12 Reduce.
