Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{2}{7}x +\frac{1}{5}x=34[/tex]
We need to combine like terms but since they are fractions we first need to find a common denominator. The common multiple of 5 and 7 is 35 so we need to multiply 7 by 5 and 5 by 7, but we have to do the same to the numerator too.
[tex]\frac{2*5}{7*5} +\frac{1*7}{5*7}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{10}{35}x+\frac{7}{35} x=34[/tex]
Combine like terms
[tex]\frac{17}{35}x=34[/tex]
Divide 34 by [tex]\frac{17}{35}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{34}{1} *\frac{35}{17} =\frac{1190}{17} =70[/tex]
