Question

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

Answer 1

Hi! Happy to help. The answer is 46/21- here is how:

first, we can add the fractions together, by getting a common denominator, along with the 2 xs (plural) in the equation.

this gives: 2x+13/21=5 (the common denominator being 21)

Next, subtract the 13/21 over:

2x=-13/21+5

Finding the common denominator of 5 and -13/21, we see the equation equals:

2x=92/21

finally: diving by 2 gives 46/21! Hope this helps.
