Question 223178


{{{1/7=14-x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{7(1/cross(7))=7(14-x)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{7}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{1=98-7x}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{0=98-7x-1}}} Subtract {{{1}}} from both sides.



{{{7x=98-1}}} Add {{{7x}}} to both sides.



{{{7x=97}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(97)/(7)}}} Divide both sides by {{{7}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=97/7}}} which approximates to {{{x=13.857}}}.
