Answer:

Explanation:

1. since the least common denominator of 3 and 2 is 6

2. put the 6 in front of the number because you are going to distribute

3. 6 times 4/3=8 6 times 3/2=9 6 times 17/6=17

4.Now you have your full equation because you got rid of the fractions and it is easier to solve using whole numbers 8x+9x=17

5. to solve for x from the equation 8x+9x=17 since both x's are on the same equal sign you'd do 8x+9x=17x

7. 17x=17 divide both side by 17 leaving your answer with x=1
