Solve 63/88:x=54/121

$$\frac { 63 } { 88 } : x = \frac { 54 } { 121 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{77}{48} = 1\frac{29}{48} \approx 1.604166667$$

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 121x, the least common multiple of x,121.

$$121\times \frac{63}{88}=54x$$

Express 121\times \frac{63}{88} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{121\times 63}{88}=54x$$

Multiply 121 and 63 to get 7623.

$$\frac{7623}{88}=54x$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{7623}{88} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 11.

$$\frac{693}{8}=54x$$

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

$$54x=\frac{693}{8}$$

Divide both sides by 54.

$$x=\frac{\frac{693}{8}}{54}$$

Express \frac{\frac{693}{8}}{54} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{693}{8\times 54}$$

Multiply 8 and 54 to get 432.

$$x=\frac{693}{432}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{693}{432} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 9.

$$x=\frac{77}{48}$$
