You can put this solution on YOUR website! Looks to me like there is no solution to this equation. If you think about it, there is no single number that makes both sides of the equation equal. The x's have to be the same number on both sides. Adding 2/3 to one of them and adding 3/4 to the other can never make both sides equal.
Algebraically, we could subtract x from both sides, leaving us with 2/3 = 3/4. Since that's an obviously false statement, there is no solution.
