Question

Solve for x : 2x/14=7

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

We can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 14 (the denominator of the fraction) to get rid of the fraction:

2x/14 * 14 = 7 * 14

This simplifies to:

2x = 98

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

(2x)/2 = 98/2

This simplifies to:

x = 49

Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x/14 = 7 is x = 49.
