Solve 2x-60%x=48

$$2 x - 60 \% x = 48$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{240}{7} = 34\frac{2}{7} \approx 34.285714286$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{60}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20.

$$2x-\frac{3}{5}x=48$$

Combine 2x and -\frac{3}{5}x to get \frac{7}{5}x.

$$\frac{7}{5}x=48$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{7}, the reciprocal of \frac{7}{5}.

$$x=48\times \frac{5}{7}$$

Express 48\times \frac{5}{7} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{48\times 5}{7}$$

Multiply 48 and 5 to get 240.

$$x=\frac{240}{7}$$
