Solve 0.208=x-20*2/x

$$0.208 = \frac { x - 20 \cdot 2 } { x }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{5000}{99} = 50\frac{50}{99} \approx 50.505050505$$

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.

$$0.208x=x-20\times 2$$

Multiply 20 and 2 to get 40.

$$0.208x=x-40$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$0.208x-x=-40$$

Combine 0.208x and -x to get -0.792x.

$$-0.792x=-40$$

Divide both sides by -0.792.

$$x=\frac{-40}{-0.792}$$

Expand \frac{-40}{-0.792} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x=\frac{-40000}{-792}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-40000}{-792} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -8.

$$x=\frac{5000}{99}$$
