x-2/2x+22 = 1/7 x=
Assuming you meant
(x-2)/(2x+22) = 1/7
7(x-2) = 2x+22
7x-14 = 2x+22
and so on
Hi Steve, I'm trying to find the solution for x.
is x = 36/5
looks like it to me. Good work.
thanks
To solve the equation x - 2/(2x + 22) = 1/7 for x, follow these steps:
Step 1: Simplify the equation by multiplying through the denominator.
7(x - 2) = (2x + 22)
Step 2: Distribute on the left-hand side of the equation.
7x - 14 = 2x + 22
Step 3: Move the terms containing x to one side and the constant terms to the other side.
7x - 2x = 22 + 14
5x = 36
Step 4: Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x.
x = 36/5
Therefore, the solution to the equation x - 2/(2x + 22) = 1/7 is x = 36/5.
