_____ ____---> (3)/(x-3)=(5)(x+4) : (3)(x+4)=(5)/(x-3) : 3x+12= 5x-15 : 3x-5x=-15-12 : -2x=-27 : x=27/2
x-3 x+4

Determine the lcd of all the simple fractions. In this case it is 6ab. Multiply numerator and denominator of the complex fraction by this lcd.

\(\displaystyle \frac{\frac{6ab}{1}\cdot (\frac{1}{a}+\frac{4}{3b})}{\frac{6ab}{1}\cdot(\frac{1}{2a}-\frac{3}{b})}=\frac{6b+2a}{3b-18a}=\)

and you can take it from there???
Was there a typo in the original problem?
