Tuesday's Teaser Double Bonus Results

Congratulations to the 'X' man, as he was the only person to submit a correct answer to last week's teaser.  For that, he received 10 extra credit points. (Worth a free test question) Here it is again:

You could leave the fractions like they are and just deal with them.  But you could also multiply each term by the LCD, which is.......Right! 24.  Clear the fractions and complete a very simplified version of the original.  When you are finished, you should have what the X man had, which is
        x =  16. 

Too easy not to try.  Look for this week's teaser on Tuesday.
