Full solution

Q. Solve for x. \newline73x=21\frac{7}{3}x= 21 \newlinex=x = ______
  1. Multiply by reciprocal: We have the equation (73)x=21(\frac{7}{3})x = 21. To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (73)(\frac{7}{3}), which is (37)(\frac{3}{7}).\newlineCalculation: x=21×(37)x = 21 \times (\frac{3}{7})
  2. Simplify right side: Now we perform the multiplication to simplify the right side of the equation.\newlineCalculation: x=21×(37)=637x = 21 \times \left(\frac{3}{7}\right) = \frac{63}{7}
  3. Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction on the right side to find the value of xx.\newlineCalculation: x=637=9x = \frac{63}{7} = 9
