Question 627276
{{{x/2=3x/4+5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4(x/cross(2))=4(3x/cross(4)+5)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{4}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{2x=3x+20}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{2x-3x=20}}} Subtract {{{3x}}} from both sides.



{{{-x=20}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(20)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-20}}} Reduce.
