Answer:

x= 1/42

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+3/7+2=x+5/2

combine like terms (2 and 3/7)

4x+17/7=x+5/2

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

4x-x+17/7=x-x+5/2

3x+17/7=5/2

Step 3: Subtract 17/7 from both sides.

3x+17/7−17/7=5/2-17/7

3x=1/14

Step 4: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3=1/14/3

1/14 * 1/3 = 1/42

x=1/42
