Solve -3/10x+17/5=0

$$- \frac { 3 } { 10 } x + \frac { 17 } { 5 } = 0$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{34}{3} = 11\frac{1}{3} \approx 11.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{17}{5} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-\frac{3}{10}x=-\frac{17}{5}$$

Multiply both sides by -\frac{10}{3}, the reciprocal of -\frac{3}{10}.

$$x=-\frac{17}{5}\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)$$

Multiply -\frac{17}{5} times -\frac{10}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$x=\frac{-17\left(-10\right)}{5\times 3}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-17\left(-10\right)}{5\times 3}.

$$x=\frac{170}{15}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{170}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x=\frac{34}{3}$$
