Given the numerical equation:
4/7 = x + 3/21
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to easily solve for x, we need to equate the given fractions to decimals. To do so, we divide the numerator with the denominator.
4/7
=0.57
3/21
= 0.14
0.57 = x + 0.14
Transpose 0.14 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
x = 0.57 - 0.14
x = 0.43
Final answer:
x = 0.43
