2-%28x-1%2F4%29=x%2B2%2F3
2-x%2B1%2F4=x%2B2%2F3 Distribute
8%2F4%2B1%2F4-x=x%2B2%2F3 Make all numbers on left side have common denominator
9%2F4=2x%2B2%2F3 Add x to both sides
9%2F4-2%2F3=2x Subtract 2/3 from both sides
27%2F12-8%2F12=2x Get to LCD
%2819%2F12%29%2F2=x Divide both sides by 2
x=19%2F24
