Solve 27/x+36=70

$$\frac { 27 } { x } + 36 = 70$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{27}{34}\approx 0.794117647$$

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.

$$27+x\times 36=70x$$

Subtract 70x from both sides.

$$27+x\times 36-70x=0$$

Combine x\times 36 and -70x to get -34x.

$$27-34x=0$$

Subtract 27 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-34x=-27$$

Divide both sides by -34.

$$x=\frac{-27}{-34}$$

Fraction \frac{-27}{-34} can be simplified to \frac{27}{34} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{27}{34}$$
