$\frac{1}{5} x - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{1}{7} x - \frac{6}{5}$

Step 1

Combine $\frac{1}{5}$ and $x$ .

$\frac{x}{5} - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{1}{7} x - \frac{6}{5}$

Step 2

Combine $\frac{1}{7}$ and $x$ .

$\frac{x}{5} - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{x}{7} - \frac{6}{5}$

Step 3

Graph each side of the equation. The solution is the x-value of the point of intersection.

$x = - 11$
