Solve LaTeX:  \displaystyle \frac{7}{x + 10}=\frac{4}{x - 7} .

The LCD is LaTeX:  \displaystyle \left(x - 7\right) \left(x + 10\right) . Multiplying by the LCD to clear the fractions gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 7 x - 49 = 4 x + 40 . Isloating LaTeX:  \displaystyle x gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle x = \frac{89}{3} .
