To solve this equation, we need to first simplify the left side by performing the division and then proceeding with the subtraction:
3 1/3 ÷ (3/7x - 13/15) = 1 9/15
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
3 1/3 = (3 x 3 + 1)/3 = 10/3
Now rewrite the equation with the improper fraction and perform the division:
10/3 ÷ (3/7x - 13/15) = 24/15
To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal:
10/3 x (7x/3 - 15/13) = 24/15
Simplify the expression:
(10/3) x (7x/3) - (10/3) x (13/15) = 24/15
(70x/9) - (26/5) = 24/15
Now we combine the fractions on the left side:
(70x/9) - (26/5) = (24/15)
To find a common denominator, we multiply 9 and 5 to get 45:
(350x/45) - (234/45) = 24/15
Now we can combine the fractions again:
(350x - 234)/45 = 24/15
Solve for x:
350x - 234 = 24 x 3
350x - 234 = 72
Add 234 to both sides:
350x = 306
Divide by 350:
x = 306/350
x = 153/175
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 153/175.
