36x\times \frac{7}{9}+36x\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)=36\times \frac{1}{6}
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 36x, the least common multiple of 9,4,x.
\frac{36\times 7}{9}x+36x\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)=36\times \frac{1}{6}
Express 36\times \frac{7}{9} as a single fraction.
\frac{252}{9}x+36x\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)=36\times \frac{1}{6}
Multiply 36 and 7 to get 252.
28x+36x\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)=36\times \frac{1}{6}
Divide 252 by 9 to get 28.
28x+\frac{36\left(-3\right)}{4}x=36\times \frac{1}{6}
Express 36\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right) as a single fraction.
28x+\frac{-108}{4}x=36\times \frac{1}{6}
Multiply 36 and -3 to get -108.
28x-27x=36\times \frac{1}{6}
Divide -108 by 4 to get -27.
x=36\times \frac{1}{6}
Combine 28x and -27x to get x.
x=\frac{36}{6}
Multiply 36 and \frac{1}{6} to get \frac{36}{6}.
x=6
Divide 36 by 6 to get 6.
