Answer:

x = 48

Explanation:

The trick here is to get everything into the numerator. To do this, we multiply everything by 4*3.


(1)/(4)x=(1)/(3) x+-4\\3x=4x-48\\48=4x-3x\\x=48

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The answer for this question is : x = 48

Step 1 : Subtract 1/3x from both sides:


(1)/(4)x-(1)/(3)x=(1)/(3)x-4-(1)/(3)x


(-1)/(12)x=-4

Step 2 : Multiply both sides by 12/(-1):


((12)/(-1))*((-1)/(12x)=((12)/(-1))*(-4)

You'll get your answer as :


x=48
