x%2F4%2B7%2F4=5%2F6 Start with the given equation.


12%28x%2Fcross%284%29%2B7%2Fcross%284%29%29=12%285%2Fcross%286%29%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 12 to clear any fractions.


3x%2B21=10 Distribute and multiply.


3x=10-21 Subtract 21 from both sides.


3x=-11 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-11%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.
