Question

2/14x - 0.59 = 8/21x - 1.24

Answer 1

21/14x - 0,59 = 8/21x - 1,24 
21/14x - 8/21x = - 1,24 + 0,59 
63/42x - 16/42x = - 0,65 
47/42x = - 13/20 
x = - 13/20 : 47/42 
x = - 273/470 

Answer 2

To solve for x in the equation:

2/14x - 0.59 = 8/21x - 1.24

First, we can simplify the fractions by finding a common denominator. The smallest common multiple of 14 and 21 is 42. So, we can rewrite the equation as:

3x/42 - 0.59 = 4x/42 - 1.24

Next, we can simplify the left-hand side and right-hand side by combining like terms:

(3x - 25.38)/42 = (4x - 52.08)/42

We can then cross-multiply to get rid of the denominators:

3x - 25.38 = 4x - 52.08

Subtracting 3x from both sides, we get:

-25.38 = x - 52.08

Adding 52.08 to both sides, we get:

x = 26.7

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 26.7.
