Solve x+50/x=36

$$\frac{ x+50 }{ x } =36$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{10}{7} = 1\frac{3}{7} \approx 1.428571429$$

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 x.

$$x+50=36x$$

Subtract 36x from both sides.

$$x+50-36x=0$$

Combine x and -36x to get -35x.

$$-35x+50=0$$

Subtract 50 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-35x=-50$$

Divide both sides by -35.

$$x=\frac{-50}{-35}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-50}{-35} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -5.

$$x=\frac{10}{7}$$
