Question 91187
x + {{{x/2}}} + {{{x/4}}} = 10.
:
To get rid of the denominators mult equation by 4, this means mult each term in the equation by 4:
4*x + 4*{{{x/2}}} + 4*{{{x/4}}} = 4*10
:
This gets rid of the denominator and leaves you with:
4x + 2x + x = 40
:
7x = 40
:
x = 40/7
:
:
Check solution:
{{{40/7}}} + {{{40/14}}} + {{{40/28}}} =
:
{{{160/28}}} + {{{80/28}}} + {{{40/28}}} = {{{280/28}}} = 10
