Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Multiply through by 42 ( the LCM of 3, 7 and 2 ) to clear the fractions

- 28x + 18 = 21 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

- 28x = 3 ( divide both sides by - 28 )

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