The equation is $\"\"$ .

First write the mixed number $\"\"$ into improper fraction.

The improper fraction of $\"\"$ ( $\"\"$ )

So the equation is $\"\"$ $\"\"$

According to division property of equality:

For any number a, b and c, If a = b then $\"\"$

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by $\"\"$ )

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

Check:

To check the solution, substitute $\"\"$ in original equation.

$\"\"$

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ )

Compare the values, the equation is true. The solution is $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

The value of $\"\"$ .
