Solve 300+80x/x=98/1

$$\frac{ 300+80x }{ x } = \frac{ 98 }{ 1 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{50}{3} = 16\frac{2}{3} \approx 16.666666667$$

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.

$$300+80x=x\times 98$$

Subtract x\times 98 from both sides.

$$300+80x-x\times 98=0$$

Combine 80x and -x\times 98 to get -18x.

$$300-18x=0$$

Subtract 300 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-18x=-300$$

Divide both sides by -18.

$$x=\frac{-300}{-18}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-300}{-18} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -6.

$$x=\frac{50}{3}$$
