Solve 3*1/1*71=x/42*15

$$\frac { 3 \cdot 1 } { 1 \cdot 71 } = \frac { x } { 42 \cdot 15 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{1890}{71} = 26\frac{44}{71} \approx 26.61971831$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Cancel out 1 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{3}{71}=\frac{x}{42\times 15}$$

Multiply 42 and 15 to get 630.

$$\frac{3}{71}=\frac{x}{630}$$

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

$$\frac{x}{630}=\frac{3}{71}$$

Multiply both sides by 630.

$$x=\frac{3}{71}\times 630$$

Express \frac{3}{71}\times 630 as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{3\times 630}{71}$$

Multiply 3 and 630 to get 1890.

$$x=\frac{1890}{71}$$
