Solve 2*80000/x=176000/x+4

$$2 \times \frac { 80000 } { x } = \frac { 176000 } { x + 4 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=40$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -4,0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(x+4\right), the least common multiple of x,x+4.

$$2\left(x+4\right)\times 80000=x\times 176000$$

Multiply 2 and 80000 to get 160000.

$$160000\left(x+4\right)=x\times 176000$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 160000 by x+4.

$$160000x+640000=x\times 176000$$

Subtract x\times 176000 from both sides.

$$160000x+640000-x\times 176000=0$$

Combine 160000x and -x\times 176000 to get -16000x.

$$-16000x+640000=0$$

Subtract 640000 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-16000x=-640000$$

Divide both sides by -16000.

$$x=\frac{-640000}{-16000}$$

Divide -640000 by -16000 to get 40.

$$x=40$$
