Answer:
x=335/336
Explanation:
First of all, we open the parentheses. 17x+14 1/2-2 3/7+7x=36. Then, we subtract the mixed fractions. 14 1/2-2 3/7=12 1/14. Then, we add the x's. 17x+7x=24x. What we get is 12 1/14+24x=36. We have to subtract 12 1/14 on both sides. 24x=23 13/14. To find x, we do 23 13/14 divided by 24=335/336. x=335/336
