Answer: x = -7/12

Explanation:

x+4/3=3/4

Solving for x minus the 4/3 from both sides

x + 4/3 - 4/3 = 3/4 - 4/3

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

x = 9/12 - 16/12

x = -7/12

Answer:

x = -7/12

Explanation:

  • Get rid of the fraction on the left side of the equation.
  • You can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 4, which is 12.


\sf 12(x+(4)/(3))=(3)/(4)

  • This simplifies to:

12x + 16 = 9

  • Now, isolate the variable x.

Subtract 16 from both sides of the equation:

12x + 16 − 16 = 9 − 16

  • This simplifies to:

12x = −7

  • Divide both sides by 12

x = -7/12
