Question

What is the solution for x in the equation?

-x + 3/7 = 2x - 25/7

A. x = -4/3
B. x= 4/3
C. x = 3/4
D. x = - 3/4

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation:

To solve for x, we have to use inverse properties.

`-x+(3)/(7) =2x-(25)/(7)` [subtract both sides by
`(3)/(7)`]

`-x=2x-4` [subtract both sides by 2x]

`-3x=-4` [divide both sides by -3]

`x=(4)/(3)`

This gives the answer B.
