Anser stil the same

(1-3/7)x=15 3/4

or (4/7)x=63/4

x=(7/4)*(63/4)

Let x = no of hectares in the beginning

Now, 3/7 x → sold

 x  - 3/7 x = 15  3/4

Solving for x using linear equation in one variable:

28(x -3/7x)   = 28(15 3/4)

28x - 12x  = 28 (63/4) → converting mixed fraction to improper fraction

28x - 12x = 441

          16x = 441

              x = 441/16

             x = 27 9/16  → converting improper fraction to mixed fraction
