n-2%2F3=3%2F4 Start with the given equation.


12%28n%29-cross%2812%29%5E4%282%2Fcross%283%29%29=cross%2812%29%5E3%283%2Fcross%284%29%29 Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 12 to clear any fractions.


12n-8=9 Multiply and simplify.


12n=9%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.


12n=17 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%2817%29%2F%2812%29 Divide both sides by 12 to isolate n.

Answer:

So the answer is n=17%2F12 which approximates to n=1.417.
