3(4-2x) - x(7-4) = x over seven minus 2x over 3
Rewrite as
3(4-2x) - x(3) = x/7 - 2x/3 Simplify
12- 6x - 3x = x/7 - 2x/3
12 - 9x= x/7 - 2x/3 Multiply both sides by the common denominator on the right (21)
252 - 189x = 3x - 14x Simplify again
252 - 189x = -11x Add 189x to both sides
252 = 178x Divide both sides by 178
252/178 = x = 126/89
