I know it's probably really easy but I never figured out or like learned algebraic fractions and now they're in geometry so I'm just kind of struggling through lol

Alright so

2x-5/3 = 9/4
2x-5/3(3/1) = 9/4(3/1)
6x-15/3 = 27/4
2x-5/3 = 27/4 is what I'm trying to do but I'm stuck there

Nooo

Rip

4(2x-5) = 9(3)
8x - 20 = 27

#

Now solve for x

#

Easy right?

#

So you just multiply by switching the denominators then?
