Hi, in case of 3x over 7 =6, just multiply the divider by the equal Somme which is 7.6=42
3x =42 means x=14

This is a very good video but what about if x is on the bottom of a fraction? It would have been helpful to see if they are the same or what you do if it is like that.

How do u solve for x if you have two fractions that have x?

[faustdesrosiers]

Hello! What is x in this equation?
1 ÷ ( 1 + 1/x ) = 0.2
Thank you for this, this is very helpful

[musicalrobkey]

I found it helpful but I struggle to understand the first part where the bottom of the fraction disappears when you multiply the other side of the equals sign by the bottom number.

[gncubegloria]

What about the inverse we added 2 not subtract 2

[amelia]

ok so my equation is: X + 4/7= -3/7 so how would I find what X is

[super-tolt]
