Correct Answer: 3/4

Explanation

Given data & note

Interpreting the symbol 'x' between numbers as multiplication (i.e., 1400 × x = 1050), which is the standard reading in such items.

Concept / Approach

Solve the linear equation by isolating x.

Step-by-step calculation

x = 1050 / 1400= 105 / 140 = 21 / 28 = 3/4 = 0.75

Verification

1400 × (3/4) = 1400 × 0.75 = 1050 ✔

Common pitfalls

Misreading as 1400 ÷ x = 1050; the original uses 'x' as the multiplication sign.
