Solve 627/300-x=6023/300

$$62 \frac{ 7 }{ 300 } -x = 60 \frac{ 23 }{ 300 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{146}{75} = 1\frac{71}{75} \approx 1.946666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 300.

$$62\times 300+7-300x=60\times 300+23$$

Multiply 62 and 300 to get 18600.

$$18600+7-300x=60\times 300+23$$

Add 18600 and 7 to get 18607.

$$18607-300x=60\times 300+23$$

Multiply 60 and 300 to get 18000.

$$18607-300x=18000+23$$

Add 18000 and 23 to get 18023.

$$18607-300x=18023$$

Subtract 18607 from both sides.

$$-300x=18023-18607$$

Subtract 18607 from 18023 to get -584.

$$-300x=-584$$

Divide both sides by -300.

$$x=\frac{-584}{-300}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-584}{-300} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -4.

$$x=\frac{146}{75}$$
