Solve 99/x-30=68

$$\frac { 99 } { x } - 30 = 68$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{99}{98} = 1\frac{1}{98} \approx 1.010204082$$

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.

$$99+x\left(-30\right)=68x$$

Subtract 68x from both sides.

$$99+x\left(-30\right)-68x=0$$

Combine x\left(-30\right) and -68x to get -98x.

$$99-98x=0$$

Subtract 99 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-98x=-99$$

Divide both sides by -98.

$$x=\frac{-99}{-98}$$

Fraction \frac{-99}{-98} can be simplified to \frac{99}{98} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{99}{98}$$
