Solve x/267+x=0.168

$$\frac { x } { 267 + x } = 0.168$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{5607}{104} = 53\frac{95}{104} \approx 53.913461538$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to -267 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+267.

$$x=0.168\left(x+267\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.168 by x+267.

$$x=0.168x+44.856$$

Subtract 0.168x from both sides.

$$x-0.168x=44.856$$

Combine x and -0.168x to get 0.832x.

$$0.832x=44.856$$

Divide both sides by 0.832.

$$x=\frac{44.856}{0.832}$$

Expand \frac{44.856}{0.832} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x=\frac{44856}{832}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{44856}{832} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 8.

$$x=\frac{5607}{104}$$
