Select the correct answer:

What is the solution for [tex]$x$[/tex] in the equation?

[tex] -x + \frac{3}{7} = 2x - \frac{25}{7} [/tex]

A. [tex]$x = \frac{3}{4}$[/tex]
B. [tex][tex]$x = \frac{4}{3}$[/tex][/tex]
C. [tex]$x = -\frac{4}{3}$[/tex]
D. [tex]$x = -\frac{3}{4}$[/tex]



Answer :

To solve the equation [tex]\(-x + \frac{3}{7} = 2x - \frac{25}{7}\)[/tex], follow these steps:

1. Combine like terms to move all terms involving [tex]\(x\)[/tex] to one side:

[tex]\[ -x + \frac{3}{7} = 2x - \frac{25}{7} \][/tex]

Add [tex]\(x\)[/tex] to both sides to start isolating [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ \frac{3}{7} = 3x - \frac{25}{7} \][/tex]

2. Move the constant terms to the other side:

Add [tex]\(\frac{25}{7}\)[/tex] to both sides to move all the constants to one side:

[tex]\[ \frac{3}{7} + \frac{25}{7} = 3x \][/tex]

Combine the fractions on the left-hand side:

[tex]\[ \frac{28}{7} = 3x \][/tex]

Simplify the fraction:

[tex]\[ 4 = 3x \][/tex]

3. Solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:

Divide both sides of the equation by [tex]\(3\)[/tex] to isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{4}{3} \][/tex]

So, the solution to the equation [tex]\(-x + \frac{3}{7} = 2x - \frac{25}{7}\)[/tex] is:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{4}{3} \][/tex]

This corresponds to the answer choice [tex]\(B\)[/tex].
