Question

How do i solve 51/2x-7=62

Answer 1

51/2x-7=62

1. Multiply both sides by 2x-7

$\frac{51}{2x-7}$ ×(2x-7) = 62(2x-7)

    2. Switch sides

62(2x-7) = 51

     3. Divide each side by 62

$\frac{62(2x-7)}{62}$ = $\frac{51}{62}$

     4. Simplify

2x-7 = 51/62

     5. Add 7 on both sides

2x-7+7 = (51/62)+7

     6. Simplify

2x = 485/62

      7. Divide both sides by 2

2x/2= 485/62/2

x= 485/124
