What plus 4/7 equals 7/4?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What plus 4/7 equals 7/4?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

x + 4/7 = 7/4

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by subtracting 4/7 on both sides like this:

x + 4/7 - 4/7 = 7/4 - 4/7

x + 4/7 - 4/7 leaves x and 7/4 - 4/7 is 1 5/28 which means we end up with x = 1 5/28. Therefore, the answer to "What plus 4/7 equals 7/4?" is as follows:

1 5/28
