The least common denominator would be 2x^2
that is because you would have to multiply the first fraction by 2x
but you can't just somehow simplify 2x^2, it wouldn't be right
4/x * -4/2x^2
2x*4/(2x*x) * -4/2x^2
8x /2x^2 * -4/2x^2
Then you would complete it
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first two steps are for the purpose of eliminating fractions. Doing so results in 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 2), which is to be solved for x.
Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining:
8x - 20 = 9x - 18.
Then combine like terms: -2 = x, or
x = -2.
To complete the formal check, substitute -2 for x in the first equation. This results in:
(1/3)(-4 - 5) = (3/4)(-2 -2), or
-3 = -3
... which is obviously true.
4(2x-4)^2 - 3
4(4x^2 - 2(4)(2x) + 16) - 3
4(4x^2 -16x + 16) - 3
16x^2 - 32x + 32 - 3
16x^2 - 32x + 29
