the formatting is a bit hard to understand, but from what I can tell, the denominators are 2 and 4. in order to eliminate fractions, you can multiply both sides of the equation by the LCM (least common multiple) of 2 and 4.

so, what you should really be asking yourself, what is the least common multiple of 2 and 4? if you're still having trouble, try listing out the multiples of 2 and 4, then see what's the smallest # that appears in both lists.

this explanation is a bit long-winded so let me know if you're still having trouble.
