Question

Solve for x. Express the answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

1. Multiply both sides by 4x-1
     $\frac{1}{7} (4x-1)=3$
2.Simplify $\frac{1}{7} (4x-1) to \frac{4x1}{7}$
     $\frac{4x-1}{7} =3$
3.Multiply both sides by 7
   4x-1=3x7
4.Simplify 3*7 to 21
   4x-1=21
5. Add one to both sides
   4x=21+1
6. Simplify 21+1 to 22
   4x=22
7.Divide both sides by 4
    x=$\frac{22}{4}$
8.Simplify $\frac{22}{4}$ to $\frac{11}{2}$
