Solve 044=x+03(500)/x+500

$$044 = \frac { x + 03 ( 500 ) } { x + 500 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to -500 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+500.

$$0\times 44\left(x+500\right)=x+0\times 3\times 500$$

Multiply 0 and 44 to get 0.

$$0\left(x+500\right)=x+0\times 3\times 500$$

Anything times zero gives zero.

$$0=x+0\times 3\times 500$$

Multiply 0 and 3 to get 0.

$$0=x+0\times 500$$

Multiply 0 and 500 to get 0.

$$0=x+0$$

Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$0=x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x=0$$
