x\left(75+18-3\right)\times 15=290\left(75+18\right)\times 18
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 290x, the least common multiple of 290,x.
x\left(93-3\right)\times 15=290\left(75+18\right)\times 18
Add 75 and 18 to get 93.
x\times 90\times 15=290\left(75+18\right)\times 18
Subtract 3 from 93 to get 90.
x\times 1350=290\left(75+18\right)\times 18
Multiply 90 and 15 to get 1350.
x\times 1350=290\times 93\times 18
Add 75 and 18 to get 93.
x\times 1350=26970\times 18
Multiply 290 and 93 to get 26970.
x\times 1350=485460
Multiply 26970 and 18 to get 485460.
x=\frac{485460}{1350}
Divide both sides by 1350.
x=\frac{1798}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{485460}{1350} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 270.
