Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$x\times \frac{130}{4.25}=108$$

Expand \frac{130}{4.25} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x\times \frac{13000}{425}=108$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{13000}{425} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

$$x\times \frac{520}{17}=108$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{17}{520}, the reciprocal of \frac{520}{17}.

$$x=108\times \frac{17}{520}$$

Express 108\times \frac{17}{520} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{108\times 17}{520}$$

Multiply 108 and 17 to get 1836.

$$x=\frac{1836}{520}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{1836}{520} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$x=\frac{459}{130}$$
