Question

Rewrite the equation below so that it does not have fractions2x/3 - 2 = 3/7Do not use decimals in your answer

Answer 1

The given equation is expressed as

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}x\text{ -2=}\frac{3}{7} \\ \text{The lowest common factor is 21. We would multiply both sides of the equation by 21. } \\ \frac{2}{3}x\times21\text{ - 2}\times21=\frac{3}{7}\times21 \\ 14x-42=9 \\ \\ \\ \end{gathered}$
