Question

Solve for x: 2/7(x-2)=4x

Answer 1

`x = - (2)/(13)`

Explanation:

Simplify to:

`(2(x - 2))/(7)`

Multiply both sides by 7

2(x-2)=28x

Divide both sides by 2

x-2=14x

Subtract x from both sides

2=14x-x

Simplify 14x-x to 13x

2=13x

Divide both sides by 13

`- (2)/(13) = x`

Answer:

`x = - ( 2)/(13)`
