Question

$$2x/7+1=3x/7-3$$

Solve for x

$x=28$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $7$.

$$2x+7=3x-21$$

Subtract $3x$ from both sides.

$$2x+7-3x=-21$$

Combine $2x$ and $-3x$ to get $-x$.

$$-x+7=-21$$

Subtract $7$ from both sides.

$$-x=-21-7$$

Subtract $7$ from $-21$ to get $-28$.

$$-x=-28$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$x=28$$
