Answer:


x = (32)/(45)

Explanation:

Given


1 * (2(2)/(3)) = (1)/(2)x + 3(1)/(4)x

Required

Solve for x

Express all fractions as improper


1 * (8)/(3) = (1)/(2)x + (13)/(4)x

Take LCM


1 * (8)/(3) = (2 + 13)/(4)x


(8)/(3) = (15)/(4)x

Cross Multiply


15x * 3 = 4 * 8


45x = 32

Make x the subject


x = (32)/(45)
