x/3 + 3=x/7 can anyone help me find this solution if there is one?

For this problem, easy thing to do would be to multiply both sides of the "=" sign, with the LCM of the denominators (3, 1 & 7) - and get rid of the fraction expression.

Please share your work with us, indicating exactly where you are stuck - so that we may know where to begin to help you.
 
Your title is VERY discouraging. Search your mind for the addition of fractions. Seriously, a much better way to go than what you have suggested.

If ax+ c= bx, then ax- bx+ c= 0, ax- bx= -c, (a- b)x= -c, x= c/(a- b). The rest is arithmetic.

One of my opinions as to why many threads are inappropriately placed is that people who are on a fish'in trip have little to no situational awareness. :neutral:
