Answer:

6

Explanation:

Find a common denominator first, which would be 12. Multiple x-3/4 by 3 and 2 by 4. This would produce:


(3(x-3))/(3(4)) +(4(2))/(4(3)) =(17)/(12)

Simplify.


(3x-9)/(12)+(8)/(12)=(17)/(12)

Multiplying both sides with 12 to get rid of the denominator produces:

3x-9+8=17

3x-1=17

3x=18

x=6

Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

(x - 3/4)+(2/3) = (17/12)

(3(x-3)/(4*3)) + (2*4/3*4) = (17/12)

(3x-9/12)+(8/12)=(17/12)

(3x-1/12)=(17/12) multiply each side by 12

3x - 1 = 17 add one on both sides

3x = 18 divide by three on both sides

x = 6
