First introduce the following notations:
Answer:
<h2> StartFraction 7 over 10 EndFraction x + 2 and one-half y + 6</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression 
To simplify the expression, we need to first collect the like terms of the functions in parentheses as shown;

Then we find the LCM of the resulting function

The final expression gives the required answer
Answer:
66
Step-by-step explanation:
Open the parentheses, 18 + 72 - 16 - 8 = 66
Hi there!
To solve is pretty easy. First, simplify.
21/4=(1/2x+3x) -> Combine Like Terms
21/4=7/2x
FLIP
7/2x=21/4
Multiply both sides by 2/7.
(2/7)*(7/2x)=(2/7)*(21/4)
x = 2/3
Hope this helps!
