You can put this solution on YOUR website!
What proportion? You can try to solve for x in your equation, but your equation is not a proportion.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You wrote, x-3/4=x+3/7;
\n" ); document.write( "As rendered, \"x-3%2F4=x%2B3%2F7\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Steps for solution:
\n" ); document.write( "\"28%28x-3%2F4%29=28%28x%2B3%2F7%29\", because LCD is 4*7=28
\n" ); document.write( "\"28x-21=28x%2B12\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can not isolate x in this equation, and this equation has NO solution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, before doing any steps, you could see from the given equation that left and right sides cannot be equal; both sides have term x and each side has a different constant term, and these constant terms are unequal; again cannot isolate x and no solution.

\n" );
