Question

Rewrite the equation so that it does not have fractions

3 – 2/3x = 3/4

Answer 1

`36 - 8x = 9`

Explanation:

`3 - (2)/(3)x = (3)/(4)`

The LCD of 3 and 4 is 12, so multiply both sides of the equation by 12.

`12(3 - (2)/(3)x) = (12)((3)/(4))`

`12(3) - (12)((2)/(3)x) = (36)/(4)`

`36 - (24)/(3)x = 9`

`36 - 8x = 9`
