Solve 3/7=x+1/3

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

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{2}{7}\approx 0.285714286$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 3.

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

Express \frac{3}{7}\times 3 as a single fraction.

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

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$\frac{9}{7}=x+1$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x+1=\frac{9}{7}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{9}{7}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{7}{7}.

$$x=\frac{9}{7}-\frac{7}{7}$$

Since \frac{9}{7} and \frac{7}{7} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{9-7}{7}$$

Subtract 7 from 9 to get 2.

$$x=\frac{2}{7}$$
