Solve 0.74=x-0.31/x

$$0.74 = \frac{ x-0.31 }{ x }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{31}{26} = 1\frac{5}{26} \approx 1.192307692$$

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.

$$0.74x=x-0.31$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$0.74x-x=-0.31$$

Combine 0.74x and -x to get -0.26x.

$$-0.26x=-0.31$$

Divide both sides by -0.26.

$$x=\frac{-0.31}{-0.26}$$

Expand \frac{-0.31}{-0.26} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{-31}{-26}$$

Fraction \frac{-31}{-26} can be simplified to \frac{31}{26} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{31}{26}$$
