Solve x-3/x=0.37

$$\frac { x - 3 } { x } = 0.37$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{100}{21} = 4\frac{16}{21} \approx 4.761904762$$

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.

$$x-3=0.37x$$

Subtract 0.37x from both sides.

$$x-3-0.37x=0$$

Combine x and -0.37x to get 0.63x.

$$0.63x-3=0$$

Add 3 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$0.63x=3$$

Divide both sides by 0.63.

$$x=\frac{3}{0.63}$$

Expand \frac{3}{0.63} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{300}{63}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{300}{63} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$x=\frac{100}{21}$$
