1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve for xx in the equation x4=14x3\frac{x}{4} = 14 - \frac{x}{3}.

2. Solution Steps

First, we multiply both sides of the equation by 12 to eliminate the fractions.
12x4=12(14x3)12 \cdot \frac{x}{4} = 12 \cdot (14 - \frac{x}{3})
3x=121412x33x = 12 \cdot 14 - 12 \cdot \frac{x}{3}
3x=1684x3x = 168 - 4x
Next, we add 4x4x to both sides of the equation.
3x+4x=1684x+4x3x + 4x = 168 - 4x + 4x
7x=1687x = 168
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by

7. $\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{168}{7}$

x=24x = 24

3. Final Answer

x=24x = 24
