Explanation: To remove the fractional values, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by their denominators so they get canceled out.
2+3/4x=5/12 1) Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 since it is the denominator of 3/4 8+3x=20/12 2) Simplify the fraction 20/12 8+3x=5/3 3) Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 since it is the denominator of 5/3 24+9x=5
I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions.
First you need to find the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions. In this case, it would be 12. Then, multiply the entire equation by this number.
2*12=24,
3/4*12=36/4=9,
5/12*12=60/12=5.
Using these values will give your final equation: 24+9x=5
