%282%2F7%29x%2B2=%283%2F5%29x Start with the given equation.


35%28%282%2Fcross%287%29%29x%2B2%29=35%28%283%2Fcross%285%29%29x%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 35 to clear any fractions.


10x%2B70=21x Distribute and multiply.


10x=21x-70 Subtract 70 from both sides.


10x-21x=-70 Subtract 21x from both sides.


-11x=-70 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=%28-70%29%2F%28-11%29 Divide both sides by -11 to isolate x.


x=70%2F11 Reduce.
