    Distribute 1/4 through the parenthesis:

    1/4x + 3/2 + 1/8 (x-3) = 1/3 (x+4)

    Distribute 1/8 through the parenthesis:

    1/4x + 3/2 + 1/8x - 3/8 = 1/3 (x+4)

    Distribute 1/3 through the parenthesis:

    1/4x + 3/2 + 1/8x - 3/8 = 1/3x + 4/3

    Subtract the fractions.

    1/4x + 9/8 + 1/8x = 1/3x + 4/3

    Multiply both sides of the equation by 24.

    6x + 27 + 3x = 8x + 32

    Collect the like terms:

    9x + 27 = 8x + 32

    Move 8 to the left side, then change the sign.

    9x - 8x + 27 = 32

    Move 27 to the right side, the. change the sign.

    9x - 8x = 32 - 27

    Collect the like terms.

    x = 32 - 27

    Subtract the numbers.

    32 - 27 = 5

    Solution: x = 5
