Solve 18+2.5+0.275x=x

$$18+2.5+0.275x = x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{820}{29} = 28\frac{8}{29} \approx 28.275862069$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 18 and 2.5 to get 20.5.

$$20.5+0.275x=x$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$20.5+0.275x-x=0$$

Combine 0.275x and -x to get -0.725x.

$$20.5-0.725x=0$$

Subtract 20.5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-0.725x=-20.5$$

Divide both sides by -0.725.

$$x=\frac{-20.5}{-0.725}$$

Expand \frac{-20.5}{-0.725} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x=\frac{-20500}{-725}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-20500}{-725} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -25.

$$x=\frac{820}{29}$$
