Thank you, but I need help with how to do it as I need to know the steps.

I'll get you started Multiply both sides by the LCD 12 to get \[\large \frac{ x-2 }{ 4 }+\frac{ x }{ 3}=3\] \[\large 12\left(\frac{ x-2 }{ 4 }+\frac{ x }{ 3}\right)=12*3\] \[\large 12\left(\frac{ x-2 }{ 4 }\right)+12\left(\frac{ x }{ 3}\right)=36\] \[\large 3\left(x-2\right)+4x=36\] I'll let you finish.
