Question

Find the value of x in the equation x⁄ 4 + x⁄14 + x⁄17 = 71

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 186  130/181

Step-by-step explanation:

x⁄ 4 + x⁄14 + x⁄17 = 71

119x/476 + 34x/476 + 34x/476 = 71

181x/476 = 71

x = 186 130/181

Answer 2

Answer:

x=186.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

$\frac{x}{4}+\frac{x}{14}+\frac{x}{17}=71$

We will find the LCM of 4,14 and 17

4 = 2 x 2

14 = 2 x 7

17 = 1 x 17

LCM = 2 x 2 x 7 x 17 = 476

$\frac{119x+34x+28x}{476} =\frac{181x}{476}$ = 71

$181x=71\times476$

$181x=33796$

x=186.72
