3\left(4x+3\right)=4\left(4x+1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{1}{4} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3\left(4x+1\right), the least common multiple of 4x+1,3.
12x+9=4\left(4x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 4x+3.
12x+9=16x+4
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 4x+1.
12x+9-16x=4
Subtract 16x from both sides.
-4x+9=4
Combine 12x and -16x to get -4x.
-4x=4-9
Subtract 9 from both sides.
-4x=-5
Subtract 9 from 4 to get -5.
x=\frac{-5}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{5}{4}
Fraction \frac{-5}{-4} can be simplified to \frac{5}{4} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
