Solve 1-2*(-60/169)=x

$$1 - 2 \times ( - \frac { 60 } { 169 } ) = x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{289}{169} = 1\frac{120}{169} \approx 1.710059172$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express 2\left(-\frac{60}{169}\right) as a single fraction.

$$1-\frac{2\left(-60\right)}{169}=x$$

Multiply 2 and -60 to get -120.

$$1-\frac{-120}{169}=x$$

Fraction \frac{-120}{169} can be rewritten as -\frac{120}{169} by extracting the negative sign.

$$1-\left(-\frac{120}{169}\right)=x$$

The opposite of -\frac{120}{169} is \frac{120}{169}.

$$1+\frac{120}{169}=x$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{169}{169}.

$$\frac{169}{169}+\frac{120}{169}=x$$

Since \frac{169}{169} and \frac{120}{169} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{169+120}{169}=x$$

Add 169 and 120 to get 289.

$$\frac{289}{169}=x$$

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

$$x=\frac{289}{169}$$
