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 4000x, the least common multiple of 4000,x.

$$x\times 7.36=4000\times 100$$

Multiply 4000 and 100 to get 400000.

$$x\times 7.36=400000$$

Divide both sides by 7.36.

$$x=\frac{400000}{7.36}$$

Expand \frac{400000}{7.36} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{40000000}{736}$$
