Question

The solution of the equation is x= .

Answer 1

The answer to your question would be X=1

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Cross-Multiply

What cross multiply basically means is that you take both sides of the equation and you multiply my the opposite sides.  So you take the top of the left fraction and multiply it by the bottom of the right fraction.  You then have an equal sign and then have the bottom of the left fraction multiplied by the top of the right fraction.

$\frac{2}{7}=\frac{6x}{4x+17}$

$2(4x+17)=7(6x)$

Step 2:  Distribute

$2(4x+17)=7(6x)$

$(2*4x)+(2*17)=(7*6x)$

$8x+34=42x$

Step 3:  Subtract 8x from both sides

$8x + 34- 8x = 42x - 8x$

$34=34x$

Step 4:  Divide both sides by 34

$34/34 = 34x/34$

$1=x$

Answer:  $x=1$
