Solve 14/14+x=0.977

$$\frac { 14 } { 14 + x } = 0.977$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{322}{977}\approx 0.329580348$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to -14 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+14.

$$14=0.977\left(x+14\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.977 by x+14.

$$14=0.977x+13.678$$

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

$$0.977x+13.678=14$$

Subtract 13.678 from both sides.

$$0.977x=14-13.678$$

Subtract 13.678 from 14 to get 0.322.

$$0.977x=0.322$$

Divide both sides by 0.977.

$$x=\frac{0.322}{0.977}$$

Expand \frac{0.322}{0.977} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x=\frac{322}{977}$$
