Explanation / Answer

First, you can get rid of the 9 in the numerator furthest tothe left by multiplying 9 throughout the problem: 4x - 2 = (9/7)(6x + 4) + (9/2)(2x) ----> this also gets ridof the denominators throughout 4x - 2 = (54/7)x + (36/7) + 9x ----> I foiled the(9/7) The rest is simple algebra 4x = (54/7)x + (50/7) + 9x 4x = (117/7)x + (50/7) (-89/7)x = (50/7) x = (-50/89)
