Question

4/7 - x = 6/35 what is x? how do I determine the answer?

Answer 1

4/7 - x = 6/35

You're trying to get x by itself, so you have to subtract 4/7 from both sides.

-x = 6/35 - 4/7

You need both of the fractions to the right of the equal sign to have the same denominator so that we could simplify them, so multiply 5/5 to -4/7.

-4 /7 × 5/5 = -20/35

So, our new equation is :

-x = 6/35 - 20/35

Simplify.

-x = -14/35

Divide both sides by -1.

x = 14/35

Divide by 7.

x = 2/5
