Solve x-75/x=0.56

$$\frac { x - 75 } { x } = 0.56$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{1875}{11} = 170\frac{5}{11} \approx 170.454545455$$

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.

$$x-75=0.56x$$

Subtract 0.56x from both sides.

$$x-75-0.56x=0$$

Combine x and -0.56x to get 0.44x.

$$0.44x-75=0$$

Add 75 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$0.44x=75$$

Divide both sides by 0.44.

$$x=\frac{75}{0.44}$$

Expand \frac{75}{0.44} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{7500}{44}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{7500}{44} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$x=\frac{1875}{11}$$
