Answer:
[tex]x = \frac{ - 63}{2} \: or \: - 31.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \frac{x}{7} - \frac{x}{9} = - 1[/tex]
Lets take the L.C.M of 7 & 9.
L.C.M of 7 & 9 = 63
[tex] = > \frac{9x - 7x}{63} = - 1[/tex]
[tex] = > \frac{2x}{ 63} = - 1[/tex]
Now lets multiply 63 on both the sides.
[tex] = > \frac{2x}{ 63} \times 63 = (- 1) \times 63[/tex]
[tex] = > 2x = - 63[/tex]
Now lets divide both the sides by 2.
[tex] = > \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{ - 63}{2} [/tex]
[tex] = > x = \frac{ - 63}{2} = - 31.5[/tex]
