Answer: x=-12

Explanation:

To solve for x, you want to use algebraic properties to isolate x.


(x)/(4)=2+(x-3)/(3) [subtract both sides by
(x-3)/(3)]


(x)/(4)-(x-3)/(3)=2 [get common denominator]


(3x)/(12) -(4x-12)/(12) =2 [subtract]


(-x+12)/(12) =2 [multiply both sides by 12]


-x+12=24 [subtract both sides by 12]


-x=12 [divide both sides by -1]


x=-12

Now, we know that x=-12.
