\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times \frac{1}{4}x+\frac{4}{3}\left(-1\right)+8\right)=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Use the distributive property to multiply \frac{4}{3} by \frac{1}{4}x-1.
\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{4\times 1}{3\times 4}x+\frac{4}{3}\left(-1\right)+8\right)=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Multiply \frac{4}{3} times \frac{1}{4} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{4}{3}\left(-1\right)+8\right)=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Cancel out 4 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{4}{3}+8\right)=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Multiply \frac{4}{3} and -1 to get -\frac{4}{3}.
\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{4}{3}+\frac{24}{3}\right)=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Convert 8 to fraction \frac{24}{3}.
\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{-4+24}{3}\right)=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Since -\frac{4}{3} and \frac{24}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{3}{4}\left(\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{20}{3}\right)=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Add -4 and 24 to get 20.
\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{1}{3}x+\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{20}{3}=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Use the distributive property to multiply \frac{3}{4} by \frac{1}{3}x+\frac{20}{3}.
\frac{3\times 1}{4\times 3}x+\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{20}{3}=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Multiply \frac{3}{4} times \frac{1}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{20}{3}=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Cancel out 3 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{3\times 20}{4\times 3}=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Multiply \frac{3}{4} times \frac{20}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{20}{4}=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Cancel out 3 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{1}{4}x+5=\frac{7}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x
Divide 20 by 4 to get 5.
\frac{1}{4}x+5-\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{7}{3}
Subtract \frac{2}{3}x from both sides.
-\frac{5}{12}x+5=\frac{7}{3}
Combine \frac{1}{4}x and -\frac{2}{3}x to get -\frac{5}{12}x.
-\frac{5}{12}x=\frac{7}{3}-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
-\frac{5}{12}x=\frac{7}{3}-\frac{15}{3}
Convert 5 to fraction \frac{15}{3}.
-\frac{5}{12}x=\frac{7-15}{3}
Since \frac{7}{3} and \frac{15}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
-\frac{5}{12}x=-\frac{8}{3}
Subtract 15 from 7 to get -8.
x=-\frac{8}{3}\left(-\frac{12}{5}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{12}{5}, the reciprocal of -\frac{5}{12}.
x=\frac{-8\left(-12\right)}{3\times 5}
Multiply -\frac{8}{3} times -\frac{12}{5} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{96}{15}
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-8\left(-12\right)}{3\times 5}.
x=\frac{32}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{96}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
