Question

Complete the statement If x/7 = 5/3, then x+7/7 =?

Answer 1

Lets get started :)

$\frac{x}{7} = \frac{5}{3}$
We can cross multiply, to find the value of x
3x = 7 x 5
3x = 35
We have to divide by 3 on either sides to isolate x
$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{35}{3}$
3 and 3 cancels out

x = $\frac{35}{3}$

Then, x + $\frac{7}{7}$  ( 7 divided by 7 is 1)
$\frac{35}{3}$ + 1   = $\frac{38}{3}$
