Solve 0.95/1+x=0.75

$$\frac{ 0.95 }{ 1+x } =0.75$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{4}{15}\approx 0.266666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+1.

$$0.95=0.75\left(x+1\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.75 by x+1.

$$0.95=0.75x+0.75$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$0.75x+0.75=0.95$$

Subtract 0.75 from both sides.

$$0.75x=0.95-0.75$$

Subtract 0.75 from 0.95 to get 0.2.

$$0.75x=0.2$$

Divide both sides by 0.75.

$$x=\frac{0.2}{0.75}$$

Expand \frac{0.2}{0.75} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{20}{75}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{75} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x=\frac{4}{15}$$
