4\times 4x-3\left(-\frac{5x}{6}+13\right)=72
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,4.
16x-3\left(-\frac{5x}{6}+13\right)=72
Multiply 4 and 4 to get 16.
16x-3\left(-\frac{5x}{6}\right)-39=72
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by -\frac{5x}{6}+13.
16x+3\times \frac{5x}{6}-39=72
Multiply -3 and -1 to get 3.
16x+\frac{5x}{2}-39=72
Cancel out 6, the greatest common factor in 3 and 6.
16x+\frac{5x}{2}=72+39
Add 39 to both sides.
16x+\frac{5x}{2}=111
Add 72 and 39 to get 111.
32x+5x=222
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
37x=222
Combine 32x and 5x to get 37x.
x=\frac{222}{37}
Divide both sides by 37.
x=6
Divide 222 by 37 to get 6.
