Solve 2x+7=1/28

$$2x+7 = \frac{ 1 }{ 28 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{195}{56} = -3\frac{27}{56} \approx -3.482142857$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 7 from both sides.

$$2x=\frac{1}{28}-7$$

Convert 7 to fraction \frac{196}{28}.

$$2x=\frac{1}{28}-\frac{196}{28}$$

Since \frac{1}{28} and \frac{196}{28} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$2x=\frac{1-196}{28}$$

Subtract 196 from 1 to get -195.

$$2x=-\frac{195}{28}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{195}{28}}{2}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{195}{28}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-195}{28\times 2}$$

Multiply 28 and 2 to get 56.

$$x=\frac{-195}{56}$$

Fraction \frac{-195}{56} can be rewritten as -\frac{195}{56} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{195}{56}$$
