Answer:

x = 1/12

Explanation:

2/3x + 1/4 = (8x+3) /12 (create equivalent fractions with a denominator of 12)

23/3x - 1/3 = (23x - 1) /3 *(46/6x = 23/3x)

8x + 3 = 23x - 1

12 3

now cross-multiply:

3(8x + 3) = 12(23x - 1)

24x + 9 = 273x - 12

9 = 252x - 12

21 = 252x

x = 21/252 which reduces to 1/12
