Solve 3x/8-4x/3=4

Evaluate

(3 \times \frac{x}{8}) - (4 \times \frac{x}{3}) = 4

Simplify

More Steps

\frac{3 x}{8} - \frac{4 x}{3} = 4

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

(\frac{3 x}{8} - \frac{4 x}{3}) \times 24 = 4 \times 24

Simplify the equation

More Steps

- 23 x = 4 \times 24

Simplify the equation

- 23 x = 96

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

23 x = - 96

Divide both sides

\frac{23 x}{23} = \frac{- 96}{23}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 96}{23}

Solution

x = - \frac{96}{23}
