Writing this problem with no fractions simplified please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply both sides by 14 to clear the fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y-\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 7 }{11 }(x-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 })\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y-\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 7 }{ 11 }x-\frac{ 7 }{ 22 }\] then I would combined terms so \[y+\frac{ 1 }{ 10 }=\frac{ 7 }{ 11 }x\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you said no fractions so lets get rid of them \[y-\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 7 }{11 }(x-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 })\] \[22y-55=14(x-\frac{1}{2})\] which is what you get if you multiply both sides by \(22\) first to avoid working with annoying fractions

So then working it out would give me an answer of 11y-7x=20?
