Explanation:

find the LCM of 3 and 1 which is 3

then you have

4x/3 +3/1 =4x+9/3

now equate the above with x-2

4x+9/3=x-2

Cross multiply

3(x-2)=1(4x+9)

3x-6=4x+9

3x-4x=9+6

-x=15

x = -15

Answer:

x = - 15

Explanation:

Given


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

Multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction

4x + 9 = 3x - 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

x + 9 = - 6 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = - 15
