Use a common denominator first 12
x%5E%283%2F4%29=x%5E%289%2F12%29
x%5E%282%2F3%29=x%5E%288%2F12%29
x%5E%281%2F4%29=x%5E%283%2F12%29
You can factor x%5E%283%2F12%29 from each term.
x%5E%289%2F12%29=x%283%2F12%29%2Ax%5E%286%2F12%29=x%5E%283%2F12%29x%5E%281%2F2%29
x%5E%288%2F12%29=x%5E%283%2F12%29%2Ax%5E%285%2F12%29
x%5E%283%2F12%29=x%5E%283%2F12%29%2A1
