You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4x + 5 divided by6 Minus x+7 divided by 4 = 2
If this is what you meant:
%284x%2B5%29%2F6-%28x%2B7%29%2F4=2 this is how it's done. Multiply everything by the LCD:12.
12%284x%2B5%29%2F6-12%28x%2B7%29%2F4=12%282%29
2%284x%2B5%29-3%28x%2B7%29=24
8x%2B10-3x-21=24
5x-11=24
5x-11%2B11=24%2B11
5x=35
5x%2F5=35%2F5
highlight%28x=7%29
To check yourself, let x=7 and see if the equation equals out.
%284%287%29%2B5%29%2F6-%287%2B7%29%2F4=2
%2828%2B5%29%2F6-14%2F4=2
33%2F6-14%2F4=2
11%2F2-7%2F2=2
%2811-7%29%2F2=2
4%2F2=2
2=2 We're right!!!
Happy Calculating!!!
