Question 684413

x/2 -6 = x/7 -1 

I am trying to study for my final exam and I got really stuck non this one. 
Thank a million :-)


Why couldn't you reveal where you're getting stuck?


Anyway, {{{x/2 - 6 = x/7 - 1}}}


7x - 84 = 2x - 14 ----- Multiplying by LCD, 14
7x - 2x = - 14 + 84
5x = 70


x = {{{70/5}}}, or {{{highlight_green(14)}}}


You can do the check!!
