This answer is incorrect. The easiest way of doing this problem
is to first cross multiply or multiply both sides of the
equation by the common denominator of both fractions. Then
divide both side by the coefficient of the unknown. The original
problem Now multiply both side of the equation by the common
denominator of both sides which in this case is 12n. Now do some
cancelation before you multiply Now multiply everything out. And
you should get: Next divde both sides by the coefficient of the
unknown, in this case the 7 Now do some cancelation. And the
answer is: All that remains now is to convert the 36/7 to a
mixed fraction. 36/7 converted to a mixed fraction is 5 1/7. Now
let us try another one. Solve for x. Technology Related:
