+23254 Looking at the denominators: 3, 2, 6, 8 ---> a common denominator is 24.
Multiply each term by 24:
(5x/3)(24) = 40x (1/2)(24) = 12 (1x/6)(24) = 4x (3/8)(24) = 9
So, the equation is equal to: 40x - 12 = 4x + 9
Subtract 4x from both sides: 36x - 12 = 9
Add 12 to both sides: 36x = 21
Divide both sides by 36: x = 7/12
