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
