Solve the equation for x. x/3 = 3/4 = 3x + 6/12 Solution Given : x/3 - 3/4 = (3x+6) / 12 Taking LCM of L.H.S we get: ( 4x - 9 ) / 12 = (3x+6) / 12 cancel both of terms in denominators, we get: 4x - 9 = 3x+6 4x - 3x = 6 + 9 4x - 3x = 15 x = 15 [ Answer ] Now check the solution, we plug in the value of x in the given equation 15/3 - 3/4 = ( 3*15 + 6 )/ 12 5 - 3/4 = 51/12 (20-3)/4 = 51/12 17/4 = 17/4 Since, L.H.S = R.H.S, Hence our solution x = 15 is correct..
