\\


\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)
