Find Common Denominator: First, we need to find a common denominator to combine the terms on the right side of the equation. The common denominator for 4 and 2 is 4.
Rewrite with Common Denominator: Now we rewrite the equation with the common denominator: 415x=49−42(3−x)
Simplify Right Side: Simplify the right side of the equation by distributing the 2 into (3−x):415x=49−46−2x
Combine Right Side Terms: Combine the terms on the right side of the equation:415x=49−6+2x
Further Simplify Right Side: Simplify the right side further: (415x)=(43+2x)
Equate Numerators: Now we have an equation with the same denominator on both sides, so we can equate the numerators: 15x=3+2x
Subtract and Combine Terms: Subtract 2x from both sides to get all x terms on one side:15x−2x=3
Divide to Solve for x: Combine like terms: 13x=3
Divide to Solve for x: Combine like terms:13x=3Divide both sides by 13 to solve for x:x=133
