Solve 60/x+480-60/2x=9

$$\frac{ 60 }{ x } + \frac{ 480-60 }{ 2x } =9$$

Solve for x

$$x=30$$

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 2x, the least common multiple of x,2x.

$$2\times 60+480-60=18x$$

Multiply 2 and 60 to get 120.

$$120+480-60=18x$$

Add 120 and 480 to get 600.

$$600-60=18x$$

Subtract 60 from 600 to get 540.

$$540=18x$$

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

$$18x=540$$

Divide both sides by 18.

$$x=\frac{540}{18}$$

Divide 540 by 18 to get 30.

$$x=30$$
