3\left(x+1\right)\times \frac{4}{3}-3\times 4=4
Variable x cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3\left(x+1\right), the least common multiple of 3,x+1,3x+3.
\left(3x+3\right)\times \frac{4}{3}-3\times 4=4
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+1.
4x+4-3\times 4=4
Use the distributive property to multiply 3x+3 by \frac{4}{3}.
4x+4-12=4
Multiply -3 and 4 to get -12.
4x-8=4
Subtract 12 from 4 to get -8.
4x=4+8
Add 8 to both sides.
4x=12
Add 4 and 8 to get 12.
x=\frac{12}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=3
Divide 12 by 4 to get 3.
