Do not use decimals in your answer.
2 + __x = __

Answer 1

Answer:

2 + 14x = (-31)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

2 + (2/3)x = (3/7)

Solving for x,

(2/3)x = (3/7) - 2

Using LCM = 7

2 × (7/7) = (14/7)

(2/3)x = (3/7) - (14/7)

(2/3)x = (3 - 14)/7

(2/3)x = (-11/7)

x = (-11/7) ÷ (2/3)

x = (-11/7) × (3/2)

x = (-33/14)

Hence,

To Put in natural numbers, we must cancel of the denominator.

So,

2 + 14x

= 2 + 14(-33/14)

= 2 + (-33)

= (-31)

Hence,

2 + 14x = (-31)
