Solve 3/7+x=1/2

$$\frac { 3 } { 7 } + x = \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{14}\approx 0.071428571$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{3}{7} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{7}$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 7 is 14. Convert \frac{1}{2} and \frac{3}{7} to fractions with denominator 14.

$$x=\frac{7}{14}-\frac{6}{14}$$

Since \frac{7}{14} and \frac{6}{14} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{7-6}{14}$$

Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.

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