If the equation is expr%283%2F4%29x=60, then...


expr%283%2F4%29x=60


4%2Aexpr%283%2F4%29x=4%2A60 Multiply both sides by 4


3x=240


3x%2F3=240%2F3 Divide both sides by 3.


x=80


-------------------------------------------------------


OR if the equation is 3%2F%284x%29=60, then...


3%2F%284x%29=60


%283%2F%284x%29%29%2A4x=60%2A4x Multiply both sides by 4x.


3=240x


3%2F240=240x%2F240 Divide both sides by 240.


3%2F240+=+x


1%2F80+=+x Reduce


x+=+1%2F80
