Answer: 4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First off, we should all get the denominators to be the same.
14 is the LCM of each of the denominators, so:
3x / 7 times 2/2 = 6x/14
-1/2 times 7/7 = -7/14
and 1/14 is 1/14
So now we have
6x/7 + -7/14 = 1/14
We can multiply everything by 14 to get rid of the denominator completely, which leaves us with:
6x - 7 = 1
Then we just solve like a normal equation:
6x = 8
x = 8/6 , or 4/3
