Question 989371
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


If you are trying to write *[tex \Large \frac{x\ +\ 84}{70}\ =\ \frac{x\ -\ 29}{61}], then


First, render your equation in plain text like this:


(x + 84)/(70) = (x - 29)/(61).


That we understand; the mess you made, not so much.  One more thing: X and x are two different things; be consistent with your capitalization.


Second, this is a proportion, so cross multiply:  Numerator on the left times denominator on the right is equal to denominator on the left times numerator on the right.  That gives you a linear equation in *[tex \Large x] that can be solved by ordinary means.
