Solve. 2/x +12/x=7 (1 point)

1 answer

To solve this equation, first combine the two fractions with the same denominator:

(2/x) + (12/x) = 7
(2 + 12) / x = 7
14 / x = 7

Now, to solve for x, multiply both sides by x:

14 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x:

x = 2

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 2.
