Question

Solve the equation for x. x/3 = (2x + 3)/7A. B. 2 C. 3 D. 3/7 E. -3

Answer 1

x = 9

Explanation:

`(x)/(3) = (2x + 3)/(7)`

Cross multiply

That's

7x = 3( 2x + 3)

Multiply the terms

That's

7x = 6x + 9

Subtract 6x from both sides

We have

7x - 6x = 6x - 6x + 9

Simplify

We have the final answer as

x = 9
