Solve 180+x/180-x=1.4

$$\frac { 180 + x } { 180 - x } = 1.4$$

Solve for x

$$x=30$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 180 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -x+180.

$$180+x=1.4\left(-x+180\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 1.4 by -x+180.

$$180+x=-1.4x+252$$

Add 1.4x to both sides.

$$180+x+1.4x=252$$

Combine x and 1.4x to get 2.4x.

$$180+2.4x=252$$

Subtract 180 from both sides.

$$2.4x=252-180$$

Subtract 180 from 252 to get 72.

$$2.4x=72$$

Divide both sides by 2.4.

$$x=\frac{72}{2.4}$$

Expand \frac{72}{2.4} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{720}{24}$$

Divide 720 by 24 to get 30.

$$x=30$$
