See the solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(6)/color(red)(7)# to solve for #x# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(6)/color(red)(7) * x/6 7 = color(red)(6)/color(red)(7) * 4#

#cancel(color(red)(6))/cancel(color(red)(7)) * x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(6))) color(red)(cancel(color(black)(7))) = 24/7#

#x = 24/7#
