Solve 2x+1/7=3x+4/7

$$2 x + \frac { 1 } { 7 } = 3 x + \frac { 4 } { 7 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{3}{7}\approx -0.428571429$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 3x from both sides.

$$2x+\frac{1}{7}-3x=\frac{4}{7}$$

Combine 2x and -3x to get -x.

$$-x+\frac{1}{7}=\frac{4}{7}$$

Subtract \frac{1}{7} from both sides.

$$-x=\frac{4}{7}-\frac{1}{7}$$

Since \frac{4}{7} and \frac{1}{7} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-x=\frac{4-1}{7}$$

Subtract 1 from 4 to get 3.

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

Multiply both sides by -1.

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