Initially, you convert it to a single fraction by keeping the denominator the same:
1 x + 1 3 x = 5 ( 3 + 1 ) 3 x = 5 4 3 x = 5
It is given that we need to find the valus of 3 x 4 . We can see that the previous working, 4 3 x = 5 is almost similar to the question so you can flip upside down the working to make it into 3 x 4 =:
To make it easier to understand, divide both sides by 1 as follows:
4 / 3 x = 5 1 ÷ ( 4 / 3 x ) = 1 ÷ 5 3 x 4 = 1 5
