Solve 258.06-x/72.1=230

$$258.06- \frac{ x }{ 7 } 2.1 = 230$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{1403}{15} = 93\frac{8}{15} \approx 93.533333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 7.

$$1806.42-x\times 2.1=1610$$

Multiply -1 and 2.1 to get -2.1.

$$1806.42-2.1x=1610$$

Subtract 1806.42 from both sides.

$$-2.1x=1610-1806.42$$

Subtract 1806.42 from 1610 to get -196.42.

$$-2.1x=-196.42$$

Divide both sides by -2.1.

$$x=\frac{-196.42}{-2.1}$$

Expand \frac{-196.42}{-2.1} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{-19642}{-210}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-19642}{-210} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -14.

$$x=\frac{1403}{15}$$
