Work Step by Step

$a) \frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{x}=\frac{2}{x}$ $3x(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{x})=3x(\frac{2}{x})$ $x+9=6$ $x=-3$ Check: $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{-3}=\frac{2}{-3}$ $\frac{-2}{3}=\frac{-2}{3}$ $b) \frac{4}{7x}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3x}$ $21x( \frac{4}{7x}+\frac{1}{3})=21x(\frac{7}{3x})$ $12+7x=49$ $x=\frac{37}{7}$ Check: $ \frac{4}{7(\frac{37}{7})}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3(\frac{37}{7})}$ $\frac{49}{111}=\frac{49}{111}$
