Solve 2x-3/5 + x+3/ 4 = 4x+1/7

Question

^{getting confused on this one...}

Answer 1

2x - 3/5 + x + 3/4 = 4x + 1/7              Let's get like terms together.

2x + x - 3/5 + 3/4 = 4x + 1/7

3x - 3/5 + 3/4 = 4x + 1/7                    Subtract 3x from both sides

-3/5 + 3/4 = x + 1/7                          Subtract 1/7 from both sides

-3/5 + 3/4 - 1/7 = x                           The LCD is 140

-84/140 + 105/140 - 20/140 = x

10/140 = x

1/14 = x
