Question

X - 1 / 7 x minus 14 equal to X - 3 / 7 x minus 26

Answer 1

Given equation is $\frac{(x-1)}{7x-14}=\frac{(x-3)}{7x-26}$

Cross multiply

(x-1)(7x-26)=(x-3)(7x-14)

$7x^2-26x-7x+26=7x^2-14x-21x+42$

$7x^2-26x-7x+26-7x^2+14x+21x-42=0$

$-26x-7x+14x+21x+26-42=0$

$(-26-7+14+21)x+26-42=0$

$2x-16=0$

2x=16

x=16/2

x=8

Hence final answer is x=8.
