Solve 4/7=x+1/2

$$4 / 7 = x + 1 / 2$$

Solve for x

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

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

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

Subtract \frac{1}{2} from both sides.

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

Least common multiple of 7 and 2 is 14. Convert \frac{4}{7} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 14.

$$x=\frac{8}{14}-\frac{7}{14}$$

Since \frac{8}{14} and \frac{7}{14} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{8-7}{14}$$

Subtract 7 from 8 to get 1.

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