1/4x + 3 = 1/3x

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12x:

3 + 36x = 4

Subtract 3 from each side:

36x = 1

Divide each side by 36:

x = 1/36

Check in original problem.

  • 4 times (1/36)= 4/36 = 1/9
  • Reciprocal of 1/9 = 9
  • add 3: 9 + 3 = 12

Result is reciprocal of 3 times the number:

  • 3 times (1/36) = 3/36 = 1/12
  • reciprocal of 1/12 = 12.
