Question

Rewrite in a simpler equivalent form and solve

Answer 1

Given:

The equation is

`(3x)/(7)+(2)/(7)=2`

To find:

The simpler equivalent form and solve the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

`(3x)/(7)+(2)/(7)=2`

It can be written as

`(3x+2)/(7)=2`

Multiply both sides by 7.

`3x+2=14`

`3x=14-2`

`3x=12`

Divide both sides by 3.

`x=(12)/(3)`

`x=4`

Therefore, the simpler equivalent form of the given equation is
`3x+2=14` and the solution is x=4.
