Question 1026405
.
can you help me figure out how to work out the problem "12/x + 3/4 = 3/2" ? 
The directions say to solve the rational equation and to find the excluded values and LCD.

<pre>
{{{12/x + 3/4}}} = {{{3/2}}}.

When you have a rational equation like this, multiply both sides by the common denominator to rid off denominators.

In this case multiply both sides by 4x. You will get

48 + 3x = 6x,

48 = 6x - 3x,

48 = 3x,

x = {{{48/3}}} = 16.

Please check yourself that the solution is correct.
