Answer:

  x = 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the solution to (2/7)(14x -7) +3 = (1/4)(2x +6).

Solution

Multiplying by 28 will clear the fractions.

  8(14x -7) +3(28) = 7(2x +6)

  112x -56 +84 = 14x +42 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  98x = 14 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -28-14x

  x = 1/7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 98
