\left(x-6\right)\times 800=x\times 680
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values 0,6 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(x-6\right), the least common multiple of x,x-6.
800x-4800=x\times 680
Use the distributive property to multiply x-6 by 800.
800x-4800-x\times 680=0
Subtract x\times 680 from both sides.
120x-4800=0
Combine 800x and -x\times 680 to get 120x.
120x=4800
Add 4800 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{4800}{120}
Divide both sides by 120.
x=40
Divide 4800 by 120 to get 40.
