Solve 24/20=x+36

$$\frac { 24 } { 20 } = x + 36$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{174}{5} = -34\frac{4}{5} = -34.8$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{24}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$\frac{6}{5}=x+36$$

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

$$x+36=\frac{6}{5}$$

Subtract 36 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{6}{5}-36$$

Convert 36 to fraction \frac{180}{5}.

$$x=\frac{6}{5}-\frac{180}{5}$$

Since \frac{6}{5} and \frac{180}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{6-180}{5}$$

Subtract 180 from 6 to get -174.

$$x=-\frac{174}{5}$$
