\frac{13}{4}x-\frac{15}{4}-6=0
Combine x and \frac{9}{4}x to get \frac{13}{4}x.
\frac{13}{4}x-\frac{15}{4}-\frac{24}{4}=0
Convert 6 to fraction \frac{24}{4}.
\frac{13}{4}x+\frac{-15-24}{4}=0
Since -\frac{15}{4} and \frac{24}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{13}{4}x-\frac{39}{4}=0
Subtract 24 from -15 to get -39.
\frac{13}{4}x=\frac{39}{4}
Add \frac{39}{4} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{39}{4}\times \frac{4}{13}
Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{13}, the reciprocal of \frac{13}{4}.
x=\frac{39\times 4}{4\times 13}
Multiply \frac{39}{4} times \frac{4}{13} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
