Question

$$\frac { x } { 3 } - 4 = \frac { 7 } { 15 }$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{67}{5} = 13\frac{2}{5} = 13.4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $15$, the least common multiple of $3,15$.

$$5x-60=7$$

Add $60$ to both sides.

$$5x=7+60$$

Add $7$ and $60$ to get $67$.

$$5x=67$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{67}{5}$$
