<PRE><B>Question 550314</B>
{{{x/2-x/7=5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{14(x/cross(2)-x/cross(7))=14(5)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{14}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{7x-2x=70}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{5x=70}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(70)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=14}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=14}}}
