First, we simplify the expression within the brackets:
3*(4/7) + 1*(2/3) = 12/7 + 2/3
Next, we find a common denominator to add the fractions:
12/7 + 2/3 = 108/63 + 42/63 = 150/63
Now we substitute this value back into the original expression:
[3*(4/7) + 1*(2/3)] / [2/3 - 4/7] = (150/63) / (2/3 - 4/7)
We simplify the denominator by finding a common denominator:
2/3 - 4/7 = (14/21) - (12/21) = 2/21
Substituting this value gives:
(150/63) / (2/21) = (150/63) * (21/2) = 55
Therefore, the expression simplifies to 55.
