Question 1091528:  3/4x-13=3x-17 
 
 Answer by Boreal(15235)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! (3/4)x-13=3x-17. note parentheses (3/4)x is not 3/4x, it is 3x/4.  I think that is what is wanted here. 
add 17 to both sides and subtract (3/4)x from both sides 
4=(9/4)x 
multiply by 4 both sides 
9x=16 
x=16/9 
Check 
(3/4)(16/9)-13=3(16/9)-17 
(4/3)-13=(16/3)-17 
multiply everything by 3 
4-39=16-51 
-35=-35
