How do you solve (3x)/(4x) = (3x + 7)/(5x-8)? Algebra Rational Equations and Functions Clearing Denominators in Rational Equations 1 Answer Erick G. Apr 8, 2018 (3x)/(4x) = (3x + 7 )/(5x -8) (3)/(4) = (3x + 7 )/(5x -8) (3)* (5x -8) = (3x + 7 ) * (4) 15x -24 = 12x + 28 15x -12x = 28 + 24 3x = 52 x = 52/3 Answer link Related questions What is Clearing Denominators in Rational Equations?
