Put everything on an equal denominator and solve for x.
Explanation:
The lowest common denomiator for this equation would be 3x
Now that everything's on an equal denomiator we can get rid of the denominators and solve the resulting quadratic equation.
-12 =
0 =
After solving with the quadratic formula, you'll get approximate solutions of x = 29.5945 and x = 0.4055. However, your teacher may want you to leave the answer In radical form, so beware of that.
