Solve 14x-10%text{of}x=27

$$14 x - 10 \% \text { of } x = 27$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{270}{139} = 1\frac{131}{139} \approx 1.942446043$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{10}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 10.

$$14x-\frac{1}{10}x=27$$

Combine 14x and -\frac{1}{10}x to get \frac{139}{10}x.

$$\frac{139}{10}x=27$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{10}{139}, the reciprocal of \frac{139}{10}.

$$x=27\times \frac{10}{139}$$

Express 27\times \frac{10}{139} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{27\times 10}{139}$$

Multiply 27 and 10 to get 270.

$$x=\frac{270}{139}$$
