x%2F4%2B2%2F4=7%2F2 Start with the given equation



%284%29%28x%2F4%2B2%2F4%29=%284%29%287%2F2%29 Multiply both sides by the LCM of 4. This will eliminate the fractions (note: if you need help with finding the LCM, check out this solver)



x%2B2=14 Distribute and multiply the LCM to each side



x=14-2Subtract 2 from both sides


x=12 Combine like terms on the right side
