\left(7x+2\right)\times 9=\left(3x+7\right)\times 6
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -\frac{7}{3},-\frac{2}{7} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(3x+7\right)\left(7x+2\right), the least common multiple of 3x+7,7x+2.
63x+18=\left(3x+7\right)\times 6
Use the distributive property to multiply 7x+2 by 9.
63x+18=18x+42
Use the distributive property to multiply 3x+7 by 6.
63x+18-18x=42
Subtract 18x from both sides.
45x+18=42
Combine 63x and -18x to get 45x.
45x=42-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
45x=24
Subtract 18 from 42 to get 24.
x=\frac{24}{45}
Divide both sides by 45.
x=\frac{8}{15}
Reduce the fraction \frac{24}{45} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
