Solve the equation using the Properties of Equality.
x=15/14
To solve an equation, we should first gather all of the variable terms on one side and all of the constant terms on the other side. In this case, the variable term is already on the right-hand side of the equation, so we will start by multiplying the equation by 3.
LHS * 3=RHS* 3
a/c* b = a* b/c
Rearrange equation
Since the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 15 and 14 is 1, the solution is written in its simplest form.
