(x/3) + (3x/4) = 2

Well first let's make these fractions have the same denominator  

(4x/12) + (9x/12) = 2

Now combine the fractions together

13x/12 = 2

Multiply both sides by 12 to remove the fraction

13x = 12 * 2

13x = 24

Divide both sides by 13 so "x" is the subject

x = 24/13

x = 1.846 (to 3 d.p.)
