Question

The solution of equation x-7/8 + x +7/6= 0 is given by

Answer 1

x-7/8+x+7/6=0
2x-/+28-21/24=0
2x+7/24=0
x=-7/48

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$\frac{x-7}{8}+\frac{x+7}{6}=0$

Taking LCM, we get

$\frac{6(x-7)+8(x+7)}{48}=0$

$\frac{6x-42+8x+56}{48}=0$

$\frac{14x+14}{48}=0$

$14x+14=0$

$14x=-14$

$x=-1$

Therefore the value of x is -1.
