Solve 60%x-36=120

$$60 \% x - 36 = 120$$

Solve for x

$$x=260$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$\frac{3}{5}x-36=120$$

Add 36 to both sides.

$$\frac{3}{5}x=120+36$$

Add 120 and 36 to get 156.

$$\frac{3}{5}x=156$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{3}, the reciprocal of \frac{3}{5}.

$$x=156\times \frac{5}{3}$$

Express 156\times \frac{5}{3} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{156\times 5}{3}$$

Multiply 156 and 5 to get 780.

$$x=\frac{780}{3}$$

Divide 780 by 3 to get 260.

$$x=260$$
