Solve x/12+7x/16=x/20

$$\frac { x } { 12 } + \frac { 7 x } { 16 } = \frac { x } { 20 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 240, the least common multiple of 12,16,20.

$$20x+15\times 7x=12x$$

Multiply 15 and 7 to get 105.

$$20x+105x=12x$$

Combine 20x and 105x to get 125x.

$$125x=12x$$

Subtract 12x from both sides.

$$125x-12x=0$$

Combine 125x and -12x to get 113x.

$$113x=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 113 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.

$$x=0$$
