-4\times 90=4\left(\frac{9\times 4+2}{4}+\frac{1\times 4+3}{4}\right)\times 4\left(x-57\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 57 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4\left(x-57\right), the least common multiple of 57-x,4.
-360=4\left(\frac{9\times 4+2}{4}+\frac{1\times 4+3}{4}\right)\times 4\left(x-57\right)
Multiply -4 and 90 to get -360.
-360=4\left(\frac{36+2}{4}+\frac{1\times 4+3}{4}\right)\times 4\left(x-57\right)
Multiply 9 and 4 to get 36.
-360=4\left(\frac{38}{4}+\frac{1\times 4+3}{4}\right)\times 4\left(x-57\right)
Add 36 and 2 to get 38.
-360=4\left(\frac{19}{2}+\frac{1\times 4+3}{4}\right)\times 4\left(x-57\right)
Reduce the fraction \frac{38}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
-360=4\left(\frac{19}{2}+\frac{4+3}{4}\right)\times 4\left(x-57\right)
Multiply 1 and 4 to get 4.
-360=4\left(\frac{19}{2}+\frac{7}{4}\right)\times 4\left(x-57\right)
Add 4 and 3 to get 7.
-360=4\times \frac{45}{4}\times 4\left(x-57\right)
Add \frac{19}{2} and \frac{7}{4} to get \frac{45}{4}.
-360=45\times 4\left(x-57\right)
Multiply 4 and \frac{45}{4} to get 45.
-360=180\left(x-57\right)
Multiply 45 and 4 to get 180.
-360=180x-10260
Use the distributive property to multiply 180 by x-57.
180x-10260=-360
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
180x=-360+10260
Add 10260 to both sides.
180x=9900
Add -360 and 10260 to get 9900.
x=\frac{9900}{180}
Divide both sides by 180.
x=55
Divide 9900 by 180 to get 55.
