Question

Rewrite the equation below so that it does not have fractions.

Answer 1

Answer:

$9x+24=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

$\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}x+2=\frac{5}{12}$

To get rid of the fraction $\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}$, multiply both sides of the equation by 4 (the denominator:

$4(\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}x+2)=4(\frac{5}{12})\\\\\frac{4*3x}{4} +4*2=\frac{4*5}{12} \\\\3x+8=\frac{5}{3}$

Now, to get rid of the fraction $\displaystyle\frac{5}{3}$, multiply both sides of the equation by 3 (the denominator):

$\displaystyle3(3x+8)=3(\frac{5}{3})\\\\3*3x+3*8=\frac{3*5}{3} \\9x+24=5$

I hope this helps!
