Question 146875
{{{1/4+3/x=1/x}}} Start with the given equation



{{{cross(4)x(1/cross(4))+4cross(x)(3/cross(x))=4cross(x)(1/cross(x))}}} Multiply every term by the LCD 4x



{{{x+12=4}}} Simplify



{{{x=4-12}}} Subtract {{{12}}} from both sides.



{{{x=-8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.
