Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{8}{79} from both sides.

$$55x=13-\frac{8}{79}$$

Convert 13 to fraction \frac{1027}{79}.

$$55x=\frac{1027}{79}-\frac{8}{79}$$

Since \frac{1027}{79} and \frac{8}{79} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$55x=\frac{1027-8}{79}$$

Subtract 8 from 1027 to get 1019.

$$55x=\frac{1019}{79}$$

Divide both sides by 55.

$$x=\frac{\frac{1019}{79}}{55}$$

Express \frac{\frac{1019}{79}}{55} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{1019}{79\times 55}$$

Multiply 79 and 55 to get 4345.

$$x=\frac{1019}{4345}$$
