Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{12}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$1+x=\left(1+\frac{\frac{3}{25}}{5}\right)^{5}$$

Express \frac{\frac{3}{25}}{5} as a single fraction.

$$1+x=\left(1+\frac{3}{25\times 5}\right)^{5}$$

Multiply 25 and 5 to get 125.

$$1+x=\left(1+\frac{3}{125}\right)^{5}$$

Add 1 and \frac{3}{125} to get \frac{128}{125}.

$$1+x=\left(\frac{128}{125}\right)^{5}$$

Calculate \frac{128}{125} to the power of 5 and get \frac{34359738368}{30517578125}.

$$1+x=\frac{34359738368}{30517578125}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{34359738368}{30517578125}-1$$

Subtract 1 from \frac{34359738368}{30517578125} to get \frac{3842160243}{30517578125}.

$$x=\frac{3842160243}{30517578125}$$
