Question

Solve the following equation. 3x/7 -2 = 15Then place the correct number in the box provided.

Answer 1

`\sf \large \: x = (119)/(3)`

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3x/7−2=15

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x/7−2=15

3/7x+−2=15

3/7x−2=15

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

3/7x−2+2=15+2

3/7x=17

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 7/3.

(7/3)*(3/7x)=(7/3)*(17)

x=119/3

Answer 2

`{ \tt{ (3x)/(7) - 2 = 15 }} \\ \\ { \tt{3x - (2 * 7) = (15 * 7)}} \\ { \tt{3x - 14 = 105}} \\ { \tt{3x = 119}} \\ { \tt{x = 39.67}} \\ { \tt{ 39(2)/(3)}}`
