Solve x+5/3=3x/4

$$\frac { x + 5 } { 3 } = \frac { 3 x } { 4 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,4.

$$4\left(x+5\right)=3\times 3x$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+5.

$$4x+20=3\times 3x$$

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$4x+20=9x$$

Subtract 9x from both sides.

$$4x+20-9x=0$$

Combine 4x and -9x to get -5x.

$$-5x+20=0$$

Subtract 20 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-5x=-20$$

Divide both sides by -5.

$$x=\frac{-20}{-5}$$

Divide -20 by -5 to get 4.

$$x=4$$
