In order to eliminate the fractions in the equation before solving the equation multiply it by the least common multiple of all denominators.

You are given the equation [tex]m-\dfrac{3}{4}m-\dfrac{1}{2}=2+\dfrac{1}{4}m.[/tex]

Here you have fractions

[tex]\dfrac{3}{4},\ \dfrac{1}{2},\ \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

with denominators 4, 2 and 4, respectively.

The least common multiple is

LCM(4,2,4)=4,

then you should multiply by 4.
