%283%2F4%29x-2%2F3=1%2F5 Start with the given equation.


60%28%283%2Fcross%284%29%29x-2%2Fcross%283%29%29=60%281%2Fcross%285%29%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 60 to clear any fractions.


45x-40=12 Distribute and multiply.


45x=12%2B40 Add 40 to both sides.


45x=52 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2852%29%2F%2845%29 Divide both sides by 45 to isolate x.
