%285%2F6%29x%2B1%2F2=%282%2F3%29x%2B4 Start with the given equation.


6%28%285%2Fcross%286%29%29x%2B1%2Fcross%282%29%29=6%28%282%2Fcross%283%29%29x%2B4%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 6 to clear any fractions.


5x%2B3=4x%2B24 Distribute and multiply.


5x=4x%2B24-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


5x-4x=24-3 Subtract 4x from both sides.


x=24-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=21 Combine like terms on the right side.
