Solve 60(1+x)=72.6

$$60(1+x)=72.6$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.21$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 60.

$$1+x=\frac{72.6}{60}$$

Expand \frac{72.6}{60} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$1+x=\frac{726}{600}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{726}{600} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 6.

$$1+x=\frac{121}{100}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{121}{100}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{100}{100}.

$$x=\frac{121}{100}-\frac{100}{100}$$

Since \frac{121}{100} and \frac{100}{100} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{121-100}{100}$$

Subtract 100 from 121 to get 21.

$$x=\frac{21}{100}$$
