Solve 0.95*15/15+x=0.75

$$\frac { 0.95 \times 15 } { 15 + x } = 0.75$$

Solve for x

$$x=4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to -15 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+15.

$$0.95\times 15=0.75\left(x+15\right)$$

Multiply 0.95 and 15 to get 14.25.

$$14.25=0.75\left(x+15\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.75 by x+15.

$$14.25=0.75x+11.25$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$0.75x+11.25=14.25$$

Subtract 11.25 from both sides.

$$0.75x=14.25-11.25$$

Subtract 11.25 from 14.25 to get 3.

$$0.75x=3$$

Divide both sides by 0.75.

$$x=\frac{3}{0.75}$$

Expand \frac{3}{0.75} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{300}{75}$$

Divide 300 by 75 to get 4.

$$x=4$$
