Question

Rewrite the equation below so that it does not have fractions. 3+ = x= = Do not use decimals in your answer.

Answer 1

First we have to find the least common multiple between the denominators ( 3 and 7). Since they are prime numbers the LCM is : 3*7 = 21

Then, multiply each term of the equation by 21 and simplify

$\begin{gathered} 3\cdot21+21\cdot\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{2}{7}\cdot21 \\ 63+7\cdot2x=2\cdot3 \\ 63+14x=6 \end{gathered}$

The answer is 63 + 14x = 6
