Question

How do you solve `x/6 7 = 4`?

Answer 1

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`
