(9 + 3/x)/(x/4 + 1/12) = 36/x


//Multiply both sides by x
(9x + 3)/(x/4 + 1/12) = 36


//Multiply both left side by 4/4
(36x + 12)/(x + 1/3) = 36


//Multiply left side by 3/3
(108x + 36)/(3x + 1) = 36


//Multiply left and right by (3x + 1)
108x + 36 = 108x + 36


//Subtract 108x from both sides
36 = 36
