Answer:


x = (5)/(13)

Explanation:


(3)/(4) x + (5)/(4) = 4x

Let's rewrite the equation so that we can combine like terms.


(5)/(4) = 4x - (3)/(4) x \\ \\ (5)/(4) = (13)/(4) x

Now, we can divide both sides by 13/4 using reciropcals.


x = (5)/(4) / (13)/(4) = (5)/(4) * (4)/(13) \\ x = (5)/(13)

Answer:
x=(5)/(13)

Explanation:

The given equation :
(3)/(4)x+(5)/(4)=4x

To solve the above equation , we first multiply 4 on both the sides , then we get


4((3)/(4)x+(5)/(4))=4(4x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4*(3)/(4)x+4*(5)/(4)=16x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x+5=16x

Now, Subtract 5x on both the sides , we get


3x+5-3x=16x-3x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5=13x\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(5)/(13)

Hence, the value of
x=(5)/(13)
