Answer:
Explanation:
The best way to do this problem is to find the lowest common denominator.
2/3 : 3*2/(3*3)
3/4 : 3*3 / 3*4
Notice what you have done. You have multiplied both denominators by something that gets rid of the denominators, or will when you multiply by 4 * 3 = 12
So multiply the equation by 12
(2/3 x- 5 = 3/4 ) 12
8x - 60 = 9 Add 60 to both sides
8x - 60 = 9 Combine
8x = 69 Divide by 8
x = 69/8
x = 8 5/8
