Question

can you plz solve this word problem

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let x should be add to sum of 3/7

and thrice of ( - 6/7 ) to get 17/ 13

x + 3/7 + 3 ( -6/7 ) = 17/ 13

x+ 3/7 - 18 / 7 = 17/ 13

x + ( 3 - 18 ) /7 = 17 / 13

x - 15 / 7 = 17 / 13

x = 17 / 13 + 15 / 7

x = ( 17 × 7 + 15 × 13 )/91

x = ( 119 + 195 ) / 91

x = 314 / 91

I hope this helps you.

:)
