Solve 42/46=88+54/x

$$\frac{ 42 }{ 46 } = \frac{ 88+54 }{ x }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{3266}{21} = 155\frac{11}{21} \approx 155.523809524$$

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 46x, the least common multiple of 46,x.

$$x\times 42=46\left(88+54\right)$$

Add 88 and 54 to get 142.

$$x\times 42=46\times 142$$

Multiply 46 and 142 to get 6532.

$$x\times 42=6532$$

Divide both sides by 42.

$$x=\frac{6532}{42}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6532}{42} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{3266}{21}$$
