Solve 130/x=44/3.3

$$\frac{ 130 }{ x } = \frac{ 44 }{ 3.3 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=9.75$$

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.

$$130=x\times \frac{44}{3.3}$$

Expand \frac{44}{3.3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$130=x\times \frac{440}{33}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{440}{33} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 11.

$$130=x\times \frac{40}{3}$$

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

$$x\times \frac{40}{3}=130$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{40}, the reciprocal of \frac{40}{3}.

$$x=130\times \frac{3}{40}$$

Express 130\times \frac{3}{40} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{130\times 3}{40}$$

Multiply 130 and 3 to get 390.

$$x=\frac{390}{40}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{390}{40} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 10.

$$x=\frac{39}{4}$$
