Solve 42.5/1.3=42.5*x/2.31

$$\frac{ 42.5 }{ 1.3 } = \frac{ 42.5 \times x }{ 2.31 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{231}{130} = 1\frac{101}{130} \approx 1.776923077$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Expand \frac{42.5}{1.3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$\frac{425}{13}=\frac{42.5x}{2.31}$$

Divide 42.5x by 2.31 to get \frac{4250}{231}x.

$$\frac{425}{13}=\frac{4250}{231}x$$

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

$$\frac{4250}{231}x=\frac{425}{13}$$

Divide both sides by \frac{4250}{231}.

$$x=\frac{\frac{425}{13}}{\frac{4250}{231}}$$

Express \frac{\frac{425}{13}}{\frac{4250}{231}} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{425}{13\times \frac{4250}{231}}$$

Multiply 13 and \frac{4250}{231} to get \frac{55250}{231}.

$$x=\frac{425}{\frac{55250}{231}}$$
