Question

What is the value of x in the equation?

3 2/5 x + 2 3/4= 7

Answer 1

Answer: 1 1/4

Explanation:

simplify to: 17x/5 + 11/4=7

then move terms without x to the right side: 17x/5=17/4

multiply both sides by 5/17: 5/17 x 17x/5 = 5/17 x 17/4

simplify to : x=5/4

mixed number answer: 1 1/4
