Parth (parthkohli):

Get the fractions equivalent and then solve the equation using the method I explained in the last question.

b?

Parth (parthkohli):

\(\Large \color{midnightblue}{\rightarrow {2(6x) \over 2(7)} - {7(x) \over 7(2)} = 5 }\)

Parth (parthkohli):

\(\Large \color{midnightblue}{\rightarrow {12x - 7x \over 14} = 5 }\) \(\Large \color{midnightblue}{\rightarrow {5x \over 14} = 5 }\) \(\Large \color{midnightblue}{\rightarrow 5x = 70 }\) \(\Large \color{midnightblue}{\rightarrow x = 14 }\)
