Solve x*18/x+56=22

$$\frac { x \cdot 18 } { x + 56 } = 22$$

Solve for x

$$x=-308$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to -56 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+56.

$$x\times 18=22\left(x+56\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 22 by x+56.

$$x\times 18=22x+1232$$

Subtract 22x from both sides.

$$x\times 18-22x=1232$$

Combine x\times 18 and -22x to get -4x.

$$-4x=1232$$

Divide both sides by -4.

$$x=\frac{1232}{-4}$$

Divide 1232 by -4 to get -308.

$$x=-308$$
