Question

Solve the equation for x.
x/3 = (2x + 3)/7

Answer 1

X = 3

First u cross multiply

7x =3(2x +3)
Multiply parentheses by 3


7x = 6x =9
Move variable to the left

7x - 6x =9
Collect the terms

x = 9

Answer 2

Our answer is
`x=9`

Explanation:

First we will rearrange so we have to divide by 7.

`(x)/(3)= (2x+3)/(7)`

Now we will cross multiply.

So...

`x*7 \\3*2x+3`

Our new equation will look like:

`7x=6x+9`

Now we have to isolate x.

So we have to subtract 6x from both sides.

`7x-6=1x`

and

`6x-6x=0`

Our new equation is:

`1x=9`

Now divide.

Our answer is
`x=9`
