Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
The approach is not very different from regular fractions.
You have to get to a common denominator to be able to add them.
10 is a good denominator (multiply the denominators).
multiply the first term by 5, and the second one by 2:
7x + 9 = 30
7x = 30 - 9
x = 3
