%28%282x-1%29%2Fx%29+=+%283%2F4%29 multiply both sides by x to remove the fraction with the unknown to give
%282x-1%29+=+%28%283x%29%2F4%29 now multiply both sides by 4 to remove the number fraction to give
4%282x-1%29+=+3x expanding the bracket gives
8x-4 = 3x rearranging this and simplifying gives
5x = 4 which means
x = 4%2F5
