Answer:

The part that is shaded is 5/14

Explanation:

The total circle is 1

1/2 + 1/7 + x = 1 where x is the shaded area

Multiply each side by 14 to get rid of the fractions

14(1/2 + 1/7 + x) = 1*14

7 + 2 + 14x = 14

9+14x = 14

Subtract 9 from each side

14x = 5

Divide by 14

x = 5/14

The part that is shaded is 5/14
