Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex] , x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
[tex]\frac{4x-1}{2}[/tex] = x + 7 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
4x - 1 = 2x + 14 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
2x - 1 = 14 ( add 1 to both sides )
2x = 15 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex]
(b)
3x + 2 = [tex]\frac{2x+13}{3}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )
9x + 6 = 2x + 13 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
7x + 6 = 13 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
7x = 7 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 1
