Knee and wrist joints operate very much like a?

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic (long-lasting) inflammatory disease that causes pain, stiffness, warmth, redness and swelling in joints. Over time, the affected joints may become misshapen, misaligned and damaged. Tissue lining the joint can become thick, and may wear away surrounding ligaments, cartilage and bone as it spreads. Rheumatoid arthritis usually occurs in a symmetrical pattern, meaning that if one knee or hand has it, the other usually does, too

Explanation:

x = -6.5

explanation:

with this editor, you should be careful to put what you mean. 5/(2x - 7) = 3/(4x +14) is the way i will interpret it. cross multiply

5*(4x + 14) = 3*(2x - 7)       remove the brackets

20x + 70 = 6x - 21             add 21 to both sides

20x+ 70+21= 6x                 combine

20x + 91 = 6x                     subtract 20x

20x-20x+91=6x-20x           combine

91 = - 14x

x = - 91/14

x = - 6.5
