`x = -(14)/(9)`

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

`\Large \underline{\tt Given} :`

• 
  `\tt (x)/(2)+(x)/(7) = - 1`

`\\`

`\Large \underline{\tt To \: Find} :`

• Value of x = ?

`\\`

`\Large \underline{\tt Solution} :`

`\tt \dashrightarrow (x)/(2)+(x)/(7) = - 1`

`\tt \dashrightarrow (7x + 2x)/(2* 7)= - 1`

`\tt \dashrightarrow (9x)/(14)= - 1`

`\tt \dashrightarrow 9x= - 1* 14`

`\tt \dashrightarrow 9x= - 14`

`\tt \dashrightarrow x= - (14)/(9)`

`\\`

`\bf Hence, \:value\: of \: x = - (14)/(9)`
