Answer:

24+9x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions. In this case, it would be 12. Then, multiply the entire equation by this number.

2*12=24,

3/4*12=36/4=9,

5/12*12=60/12=5.

Using these values will give your final equation: 24+9x=5

Answer:
24+9x=5

Step-by-step explanation:
To remove the fractional values, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by their denominators so they get canceled out.

2+3/4x=5/12
1) Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 since it is the denominator of 3/4
8+3x=20/12
2) Simplify the fraction 20/12
8+3x=5/3
3) Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 since it is the denominator of 5/3
24+9x=5

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions.
