Question

7(2x+1/7)=14(3x-0.5)

pls and an explanation would help

Answer 1

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 7(2x+1/7)=14(3x-0.5)`

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 2x+1/7=2(3x-0.5)`

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 2x+1/7=6x-1`

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 4x=1+1/7`

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 4x=8/7`

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow x=8/28=2/7`

Answer 2

`\sf x = (2)/(7)`

solving steps:

`\hookrightarrow \sf 7(2x+(1)/(7) )=14(3x-0.5)`

`\hookrightarrow \sf 7(2x)+7((1)/(7) )=14(3x)-14(0.5)`

`\hookrightarrow \sf 14x + 1 = 42x - 7`

`\hookrightarrow \sf 14x -42x = - 7-1`

`\hookrightarrow \sf -28x = -8`

`\hookrightarrow \sf x = (-8)/(-28)`

`\hookrightarrow \sf x = (2)/(7)`
