Question 659531
{{{(2/7)x+2=(3/5)x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{35((2/cross(7))x+2)=35((3/cross(5))x)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{35}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{10x+70=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=(-70)/(-11)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-11}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=70/11}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=70/11}}}
