4x\times 6+4x\left(-\frac{5}{4}\right)=4x\times 4+4\times 3
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4x, the least common multiple of 4,x.
24x+4x\left(-\frac{5}{4}\right)=4x\times 4+4\times 3
Multiply 4 and 6 to get 24.
24x-5x=4x\times 4+4\times 3
Cancel out 4 and 4.
19x=4x\times 4+4\times 3
Combine 24x and -5x to get 19x.
19x=16x+4\times 3
Multiply 4 and 4 to get 16.
19x=16x+12
Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.
19x-16x=12
Subtract 16x from both sides.
3x=12
Combine 19x and -16x to get 3x.
x=\frac{12}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=4
Divide 12 by 3 to get 4.
