Enter your answer in the box as a fraction in simplest form.

x = ?

Answer 1

4/7=1/2+x

Find a common demominator. ( sorry I spelled it wrong)
8/14=7/14+x

Subtract 7/14 from each side.
8/14-7/14=7/14-714+x
1/14=x
1/14 is the answer

Answer 2

`(1)/(14)`

Explanation:

`(4)/(7)` is the result when 1/2 and x are added.

Frame an equation using the given statement

`(4)/(7) =(1)/(2)+x`

To solve the equation for x , subtract 1/2 on both sides

`(4)/(7) - (1)/(2)=x`

To add or subtract fractions, the denominator should be same

LCD is 14

`(8)/(14) - (7)/(14)=x`

Now subtract the fractions

`(1)/(14)=x`

`(4)/(7)` is the result when 1/2 and
`(1)/(14)` are added.
