Solve (x-2)/5 + x/7 = 1

Evaluate

\frac{x - 2}{5} + \frac{x}{7} = 1

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

(\frac{x - 2}{5} + \frac{x}{7}) \times 35 = 1 \times 35

Simplify the equation

More Steps

12 x - 14 = 1 \times 35

Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same

12 x - 14 = 35

Move the constant to the right side

12 x = 35 + 14

Add the numbers

12 x = 49

Divide both sides

\frac{12 x}{12} = \frac{49}{12}

Solution

x = \frac{49}{12}

Alternative Form
