Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:

Let
x-------> <span>Jaime budget
</span>s------> <span>fraction of Jaime budget for student tutors
</span><span>
we know that
x=(1/4)x+(3/7)x+s
3/7 is equal to-----> (3/7)*(2/2)----> 6/14
substitute
</span>x=(1/4)x+(6/14)x+s<span>
x=(7/14)x+s
s=x-(7/14)x
s=(7/14)x-------> (1/2)x------> </span>half of the budget is for <span>student tutors.
the answer is
</span>half of the budget is for student tutors
You can always add or subtract
same value to/from both sides of equation. The same is true about multiplication and division.
In your case you have to subtract
x from both sides of equation in order to get rid of it on the left side:


But it's easier to remember that if you want to move some member of equation to other side, you just have to
change it's sign. Let's practice a bit using your equation (I have added "plus" signs where they are usually omitted to better understend what's going on):

Move
2y to the right side:

Move
8 to the left side:

Move both
x and
2y to the right side:
