Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Reduce the ratio to lowest terms, then multiply numerator and denominator by any same value to get another equivalent.
![\dfrac{14}{2}=\dfrac{2\cdot 7}{2\cdot 1}=\dfrac{7}{1}\\\\=\dfrac{3\cdot 7}{3\cdot 1}=\dfrac{21}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{76\cdot 7}{76\cdot 1}=\dfrac{532}{76}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B14%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B2%5Ccdot%207%7D%7B2%5Ccdot%201%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B7%7D%7B1%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cdfrac%7B3%5Ccdot%207%7D%7B3%5Ccdot%201%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B21%7D%7B3%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cdfrac%7B76%5Ccdot%207%7D%7B76%5Ccdot%201%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B532%7D%7B76%7D)
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
1 + x = 7 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )
1 + 3x = 7 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 2
