To solve this equation, we first need to simplify both sides by finding a common denominator.
(3-4x)/3 - (8+9x)/4 = (9-4x)/8
First, multiply the first fraction by 4/4 and the second fraction by 3/3 to get a common denominator of 12:
(4(3-4x)/12) - (3(8+9x)/12) = (9-4x)/8
Simplify:
(12 - 16x - 24 - 27x)/12 = (9-4x)/8
Combine like terms:
(-15 - 43x)/12 = (9-4x)/8
Cross multiply to eliminate fractions:
8(-15 - 43x) = 12(9-4x)
-120 - 344x = 108 - 48x
Add 48x to both sides:
-120 - 296x = 108
Add 120 to both sides:
-296x = 228
Divide by -296:
x = -57/37
So the solution to the equation is x = -57/37.
