Solve for x so assuming that the fractions are (9/4)-(1/*2x))=4/x then get all x on one side add 1/(2x) to both sides 9/4=(4/x)+(1/(2x)) make common denomators with x and 2x common denomenator is 2x 4/x times 2/2=8/(2x) 9/4=8/(2x)+1/(2x) add 9/4=9/(2x) make common denomators with 4 and 2x common denomator is 4x 9/4 times x/x=9x/(4x) 9/(2x) times 2/2=18/(4x) 9x/(4x)=18/(4x) multiply both sides by 4x to clear fraction 9x=18 divide both sides by 9 x=2
