(4x + 5 / 3) + 2 = x/7
If I'm not interpretting you right, let me know:
%284x%2B5%29%2F3%2B2=x%2F7 Multiply by the LCD, 3*7=21
%2821%2F3%29%284x%2B5%29%2B21%282%29=%2821%2F7%29x
7%284x%2B5%29%2B42=3x
28x%2B35%2B42=3x
28x%2B77=3x
28x-28x%2B77=3x-28x
77=-25x
77%2F-25=-25x%2F-25
-77%2F25=x
highlight%28x=-77%2F25%29
Happy Calculating!!!
