x%2F4%2B11x%2F4=x%2F20 Start with the given equation.


Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 20 to clear any fractions.


5x%2B55x=x Multiply.


60x=x Combine like terms on the left side.


60x-x=0 Subtract x from both sides.


59x=0 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=%280%29%2F%2859%29 Divide both sides by 59 to isolate x.


x=0 Reduce.
