Solve 15/7-x=1/14

$$\frac { 15 } { 7 } - x = \frac { 1 } { 14 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{29}{14} = 2\frac{1}{14} \approx 2.071428571$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{15}{7} from both sides.

$$-x=\frac{1}{14}-\frac{15}{7}$$

Least common multiple of 14 and 7 is 14. Convert \frac{1}{14} and \frac{15}{7} to fractions with denominator 14.

$$-x=\frac{1}{14}-\frac{30}{14}$$

Since \frac{1}{14} and \frac{30}{14} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-x=\frac{1-30}{14}$$

Subtract 30 from 1 to get -29.

$$-x=-\frac{29}{14}$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$x=\frac{29}{14}$$
