To solve the equation \( \frac{14}{7 - x} = 3 \), the first step is to eliminate the fraction. You can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by \( 7 - x \) (assuming \( 7 - x \neq 0 \)).
Here’s how it looks:
\[ \frac{14}{7 - x} \cdot (7 - x) = 3 \cdot (7 - x) \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 14 = 3(7 - x) \]
Now you can continue solving for \( x \). Would you like to proceed with that?
