Question 537284
{{{(3/4)x=5x/12-1}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{12((3/cross(4))x)=12(5x/cross(12)-1)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{12}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{9x=5x-12}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{9x-5x=-12}}} Subtract {{{5x}}} from both sides.



{{{4x=-12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(-12)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{4}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-3}}} Reduce.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-3}}}
