Question 555197
{{{x+1/7=4/5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{35(x+1/cross(7))=35(4/cross(5))}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{35}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{35x+5=28}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{35x=28-5}}} Subtract {{{5}}} from both sides.



{{{35x=23}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(23)/(35)}}} Divide both sides by {{{35}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=23/35}}}
