14/(x-3)=-7/9 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{14}{x - 3} = - \frac{7}{9}$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 14
b1 = -3 + x
a2 = 1
b2 = -9/7
so we get the equation
$$\frac{\left(-9\right) 14}{7} = x - 3$$
$$-18 = x - 3$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = x + 15$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = 15$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = 15 / (-1)
We get the answer: x = -15
