Answer:

x equals  five thirteenths

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will follow the steps below;

\frac{3}{4} ×  x  + \frac{5}{4}  =  4 × x

\frac{3x}{4} + \frac{5}{4}   = 4x

\frac{3x + 5}{4} =  4x

Multiply both-side of the equation by 4

\frac{3x + 5}{4} × 4=  4x × 4

On the left-hand side of the equation 4 will cancel-out 4, thus the equation becomes;

3x + 5 = 16x

subtract 3x from both-side of the equation

16x - 3x = 5

13x = 5

Divide both-side of the equation by 13

\frac{13x}{13} = \frac{5}{13}

(On the left-hand side of the equation 13 at the numerator will cancel-out 13 at the denominator while on the right-hand side of the equation 5 will be divided by 13)

x = \frac{5}{13}

x equals  five thirteenths
