Solve 72/14*6=44/x

$$\frac { 72 } { 14 \cdot 6 } = \frac { 44 } { x }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{154}{3} = 51\frac{1}{3} \approx 51.333333333$$

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.

$$\frac{1}{84}x\times 72=44$$

Multiply \frac{1}{84} and 72 to get \frac{72}{84}.

$$\frac{72}{84}x=44$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{72}{84} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 12.

$$\frac{6}{7}x=44$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{7}{6}, the reciprocal of \frac{6}{7}.

$$x=44\times \frac{7}{6}$$

Express 44\times \frac{7}{6} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{44\times 7}{6}$$

Multiply 44 and 7 to get 308.

$$x=\frac{308}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{308}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{154}{3}$$
