Answer:


9x+24=5

Explanation:

Hi there!


\displaystyle(3)/(4)x+2=(5)/(12)

To get rid of the fraction
\displaystyle (3)/(4), multiply both sides of the equation by 4 (the denominator:


4(\displaystyle(3)/(4)x+2)=4((5)/(12))\\\\(4*3x)/(4) +4*2=(4*5)/(12) \\\\3x+8=(5)/(3)

Now, to get rid of the fraction
\displaystyle(5)/(3), multiply both sides of the equation by 3 (the denominator):


\displaystyle3(3x+8)=3((5)/(3))\\\\3*3x+3*8=(3*5)/(3) \\9x+24=5

I hope this helps!
