To solve the equation:
5 11/14 - 8/15x = 5/21
First, convert 5 11/14 to an improper fraction:
5 11/14 = 79/14
Now the equation becomes:
79/14 - 8/15x = 5/21
Find a common denominator for all fractions (14, 15, 21):
14 15 21 = 4410
Rewrite the equation with the common denominator:
(79 315 - 8 294x) / 4410 = 210 / 4410
Cross multiply:
79 315 - 8 294x = 210 * 4410
24945 - 2352x = 926100
Now simplify the equation:
-2352x = 901155
Divide by -2352:
x = 901155 / -2352
x ≈ -383.5
3x = 2/9
Divide by 3:
x = 2/9 * 1/3
x = 2/27
18/49 : x = 6/35
Rewrite the equation as a fraction:
(18/49) / x = 6/35
Now, divide the fractions:
18/49 / x = 6/3518/49 * 35 = 6x630/49 = 6x630/49 = 6x90/7 = 6xx = 90/42x = 15/7
Therefore, the solutions are:
x ≈ -383.5, x = 2/27, x = 15/7
