1/4x+2/3=x+3/4
3x+8=12x+9 Multiply each side times 12 to get rid of fractions.
-1=9x Subtract 3x and 9 from each side.
x=-1/9 divide 9 into each side.
Check:
1/4 * -1/9 + 2/3= -1/9 + 3/4
-1/36 + 2/3 = -1/9 + 3/4
-1/36 + 24/36 = -4/36 + 27/36
23/36=23/36

%281%2F4%29x +2%2F3=x+3%2F4
%281%2F4%29x- x =%283%2F4%29 – %282%2F3%29
%281%2F4%29x - %284%2F4%29x =%283%2F4%29%2A%283%2F3%29 – %282%2F3%29+%2A+%284%2F4%29
%283%2F4%29x+ =%289%2F12%29 – %288%2F12%29+
%283%2F4%29x++=%281%2F12%29++
x+=%281%2F12%29+%2F%283%2F4%29+
x=+%281%2A4%29%2F%283%2A12%29
+x+=+%284%2F36%29 divide both by 4 and we will have
x+=+%281%2F9%29
