\left(5x+550\right)\times 120\times \frac{2}{5}=5x\times 214
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -110,0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5x\left(x+110\right), the least common multiple of x,5,x+110.
\left(5x+550\right)\times 48=5x\times 214
Multiply 120 and \frac{2}{5} to get 48.
240x+26400=5x\times 214
Use the distributive property to multiply 5x+550 by 48.
240x+26400=1070x
Multiply 5 and 214 to get 1070.
240x+26400-1070x=0
Subtract 1070x from both sides.
-830x+26400=0
Combine 240x and -1070x to get -830x.
-830x=-26400
Subtract 26400 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-26400}{-830}
Divide both sides by -830.
x=\frac{2640}{83}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-26400}{-830} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -10.
