If I've read this correctly, it looks like this.
If that is correct, then the first step is to put the top part of the denominator over 3x
The next part is to flip a three tier fraction. I'm afraid I have to show what happens. My latex is not that strong.
What you get is
This is just about your final answer. You could write it as
given the following sets.
A = {0, 1, 2, 3}
B = {a, b, c, d}
C = {0, a, 2, b}
Find B C.
.44/.8=×/1
×=.55

The line segment HI has length 3<em>x</em> - 5, and IJ has length <em>x</em> - 1.
We're told that HJ has length 7<em>x</em> - 27.
The segment HJ is made up by connecting the segments HI and IJ, so the length of HJ is equal to the sum of the lengths of HI and IJ.
This means we have
7<em>x</em> - 27 = (3<em>x</em> - 5) + (<em>x</em> - 1)
Solve for <em>x</em> :
7<em>x</em> - 27 = (3<em>x</em> + <em>x</em>) + (-5 - 1)
7<em>x</em> - 27 = 4<em>x</em> - 6
7<em>x</em> - 4<em>x</em> = 27 - 6
3<em>x</em> = 21
<em>x</em> = 21/3
<em>x</em> = 7
