$$x+2/9=4/7$$

$x=\frac{22}{63}\approx 0.349206349$

Subtract $\frac{2}{9}$ from both sides.

$$x=\frac{4}{7}-\frac{2}{9}$$

Least common multiple of $7$ and $9$ is $63$. Convert $\frac{4}{7}$ and $\frac{2}{9}$ to fractions with denominator $63$.

$$x=\frac{36}{63}-\frac{14}{63}$$

Since $\frac{36}{63}$ and $\frac{14}{63}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{36-14}{63}$$

Subtract $14$ from $36$ to get $22$.

$$x=\frac{22}{63}$$
