5/4 - 5/9 = x/12 Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5/4 - 5/9 = x/12
---------------
Step 1 is eliminate fractions.
Multiply thru by a common denominator.
4*9*12 = 432
5/4 - 5/9 = x/12 times 432
--> 5*108 - 5*48 = x*36
540 - 240 = 36x
36x = 300
x = 300/36 = 25/3
x = 25/3
