Solve 23divx=12div14

$$23 \div x=12 \div 14$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{161}{6} = 26\frac{5}{6} \approx 26.833333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 14x, the least common multiple of x,14.

$$14\times 23=x\times 12$$

Multiply 14 and 23 to get 322.

$$322=x\times 12$$

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

$$x\times 12=322$$

Divide both sides by 12.

$$x=\frac{322}{12}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{322}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{161}{6}$$
