<PRE><B>Question 318696</B>
{{{(1/2)x+9/14=3/7}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{14((1/cross(2))x+9/cross(14))=14(3/cross(7))}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{14}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{7x+9=6}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{7x=6-9}}} Subtract {{{9}}} from both sides.



{{{7x=-3}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-3)/(7)}}} Divide both sides by {{{7}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-3/7}}} which approximates to {{{x=-0.429}}}. </PRE>
