\frac{33}{44}-x+\frac{24}{44}=\frac{5}{6}x
Least common multiple of 4 and 11 is 44. Convert \frac{3}{4} and \frac{6}{11} to fractions with denominator 44.
\frac{33+24}{44}-x=\frac{5}{6}x
Since \frac{33}{44} and \frac{24}{44} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{57}{44}-x=\frac{5}{6}x
Add 33 and 24 to get 57.
\frac{57}{44}-x-\frac{5}{6}x=0
Subtract \frac{5}{6}x from both sides.
\frac{57}{44}-\frac{11}{6}x=0
Combine -x and -\frac{5}{6}x to get -\frac{11}{6}x.
-\frac{11}{6}x=-\frac{57}{44}
Subtract \frac{57}{44} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=-\frac{57}{44}\left(-\frac{6}{11}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{6}{11}, the reciprocal of -\frac{11}{6}.
x=\frac{-57\left(-6\right)}{44\times 11}
Multiply -\frac{57}{44} times -\frac{6}{11} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{342}{484}
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-57\left(-6\right)}{44\times 11}.
x=\frac{171}{242}
Reduce the fraction \frac{342}{484} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
