Remove the parentheses on the left:
Put parentheses around every term, so you can
multiply through:
The LCD of the denominators is 12, so multiply
every term by 12:
The 6 cancels into the 12 in the first term,
The 2 cancels into the 12 in the second term
The third term becomes just 3
On the right the first term becomes 24x
On the right the last term becomes -84
Now you can solve that and get
Edwin
