Solve for x:
3x4+2=910

Put the fractions in 3x4+2 over a common denominator.
Put each term in 3x4+2 over the common denominator 4: 3x4+2=3x4+84:
(3x4+84)=910

Combine3x4+84 into a single fraction.
3x4+84=3x+84:
(14(3x+8))=910

Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Multiply both sides of 3x+84=910 by 4:
4(3x+8)4=4×910

Express 4×910 as a single fraction.
4×910=4×910:
4(3x+8)4=4×910

Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of 4(3x+8)4.
4(3x+8)4=44×(3x+8)=3x+8:
(3x+8)=4×910

In 4×910, the numbers 4 in the numerator and 10 in the denominator have gcd greater than one.
The gcd of 4 and 10 is 2, so 4×910=(2×2)92×5=22×2×95=2×95:
3x+8=2×95

Multiply 2 and 9 together.
2×9=18:
3x+8=185

Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.
Subtract 8 from both sides:
3x+(88)=1858

Look for the difference of two identical terms.
88=0:
3x=1858

Put the fractions in 18/5 - 8 over a common denominator.
Put 1858 over the common denominator 5. 1858=185+5(8)5:
3x=(1858×55)

Multiply 5 and -8 together.
5(8)=40:
