Question
Solve: $\frac{\mathrm{x}-4}{7}=\frac{\mathrm{x}+3}{7}+\frac{\mathrm{x}+4}{5}$

Answer


$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{x}-4}{7}=\frac{\mathrm{x}+3}{7}+\frac{\mathrm{x}+4}{5} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{5 \mathrm{x}-20=5 x+15+7 x+28}{35} \\ & \Rightarrow 5 \mathrm{x}-5 \mathrm{x}-7 \mathrm{x}=15+28+20 \\ & \Rightarrow-7 \mathrm{x}=63 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\frac{63}{-7}=-9 \\ & \therefore \mathrm{x}=-9\end{aligned}$
