Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
33769/181
Discussion:
Each term contains "x" so factoring it out gives
x( 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17) = 71 (*)
Use common factor (17*14*4 = 952) as the denominator to combine terms:
1/4 = (17*14)/ 952 = 238/952
1/14 = (17*4)/952 = 68/952
1/17 = (14*4)/952 = 56/952
so 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17 = (238 + 68 + 56)/ 952 = 362/952 = 181/476
Substituting in (*) gives
x ( 181/476) = 71 => multiply both sides by 476/181
x = (71 * 476)/181 => 71* 476 =33769
x = 33769/181
Thank you,

108 divided by each cup of fruit and seltzer will get you how many cups per serving and for C divide how many cups of seltzer with cups of orange juice
3x4=12 gives him 12 baseballs. he has 5 fewer tennis balls than base balls so you subtract 5 from 12 and you get 7 tennis balls.
First of all, you would make 6 1/4 into an improper fraction. This makes it 25/4, then you multiply it by 2 to get 50/8 and have common denominators. Divide that by 1/8, which would be 50. Then since each 1/8 costs 2 dollars you would multiply 50 by 2. So, the answer would be that they made 100 dollars.
Combining like terms, we have
