Question

so if 7x = 2/7 what do i do next????

Answer 1

Isolate x

Answer 2

Most people would probably multiply both sides by 1/7:

\[\left(\frac{1}{7}\right)7x = \frac{2}{7}\left(\frac{1}{7}\right)\]

Answer 3

In this case you would end up with

\[\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{(2)(1)}{(7)(7)}\]

Answer 4

At this point you would cancel factors of one on the left side and multiply on the right side.
