Solve 0.1=R*12/R+47

$$0.1 = \frac{ R \times 12 }{ R+47 }$$

Solve for R

$$R=\frac{47}{119}\approx 0.394957983$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable R cannot be equal to -47 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by R+47.

$$0.1\left(R+47\right)=R\times 12$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.1 by R+47.

$$0.1R+4.7=R\times 12$$

Subtract R\times 12 from both sides.

$$0.1R+4.7-R\times 12=0$$

Combine 0.1R and -R\times 12 to get -11.9R.

$$-11.9R+4.7=0$$

Subtract 4.7 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-11.9R=-4.7$$

Divide both sides by -11.9.

$$R=\frac{-4.7}{-11.9}$$

Expand \frac{-4.7}{-11.9} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$R=\frac{-47}{-119}$$

Fraction \frac{-47}{-119} can be simplified to \frac{47}{119} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$R=\frac{47}{119}$$
