Solve 40+32+64/18x=2.9/0.54

$$\frac{ 40+32+64 }{ 18x } = \frac{ 2.9 }{ 0.54 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{204}{145} = 1\frac{59}{145} \approx 1.406896552$$

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 18x.

$$40+32+64=18x\times \frac{2.9}{0.54}$$

Add 40 and 32 to get 72.

$$72+64=18x\times \frac{2.9}{0.54}$$

Add 72 and 64 to get 136.

$$136=18x\times \frac{2.9}{0.54}$$

Expand \frac{2.9}{0.54} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$136=18x\times \frac{290}{54}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{290}{54} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$136=18x\times \frac{145}{27}$$

Multiply 18 and \frac{145}{27} to get \frac{290}{3}.

$$136=\frac{290}{3}x$$

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

$$\frac{290}{3}x=136$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{290}, the reciprocal of \frac{290}{3}.

$$x=136\times \frac{3}{290}$$

Multiply 136 and \frac{3}{290} to get \frac{204}{145}.

$$x=\frac{204}{145}$$
