Solve 0.778=x-4/x

$$0.778 = \frac{ x-4 }{ x }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{2000}{111} = 18\frac{2}{111} \approx 18.018018018$$

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.

$$0.778x=x-4$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$0.778x-x=-4$$

Combine 0.778x and -x to get -0.222x.

$$-0.222x=-4$$

Divide both sides by -0.222.

$$x=\frac{-4}{-0.222}$$

Expand \frac{-4}{-0.222} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x=\frac{-4000}{-222}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-4000}{-222} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.

$$x=\frac{2000}{111}$$
