______________________________

`\bold{Solution~Steps:}`

`1.)~Add~(1)/(15)~to~both~sides:`

• 
  `\bold{(7)/(3)+(1)/(15)=(35)/(15) }`

• 
  `\bold{Least~common~multiple~of~3~and~15~is~15.}`

`\bold{Convert~(7)/(3)~and~(1)/(15)~to~fractions~with~d.enominator~15.}`

• 
  `\bold{(35)/(15)+(1)/(15)=(36)/(15) }`

• 
  `\bold{Since~(35)/(15)~and~(1)/(15)~have~the~same~d.enominator,}`

`\bold{Add~them~by~adding\\~their~numerators.}`

`2.)~Reduce~the~fraction~(36)/(15) :`

• 
  `\bold{(36)/(15)=(12)/(5)}`

• 
  `\bold{Reduce~the~fraction~to~lowest~terms~by~extracting~and~canceling~out~3.}`

`3.)~Divide~both~sides~by~2:`

• 
  `\bold{(12)/(5)}` ÷
  `\bold{2= ?}`

• 
  `\bold{Express~(12)/(5)/5~as~a~single~fraction.}`

• 
  `\bold{(12)/(5*2)}`

• 
  `\bold{Multiply~5~and~2.}`

• 
  `\bold{5}` ×
  `\bold{2=10}`

• 
  `\bold{(12)/(10)}`

`4.)~Reduce~the~fraction~(12)/(10):`

• 
  `\bold{(6)/(5)}`

• 
  `\bold{Reduce~the~fraction~to~lowest~terms~by~extracting~and~canceling~out~2.}`

`\bold{Answer:}`

• 
  `\bold{Improper~Fraction~Form=(6)/(5)}`

• 
  `\bold{Mixed~Number~Form=1(1)/(5)}`

• 
  `\bold{Decimal~Form=1.2}`

Answer 2

x=18/15, or 1
`(1)/(5)`

Explanation:

Convert 7/3 into a fraction with denominator 15. Multiply both sides by 5 to get 35/15. Now, we add 1/15 to it to cancel out on both sides.

Our new equation is 2x=36/15

Divide by 2 on both sides

x=18/15, or 1
`(1)/(5)`
