Solve 96+28%x=x

$$96+28 \% x=x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{400}{3} = 133\frac{1}{3} \approx 133.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{28}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$96+\frac{7}{25}x=x$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$96+\frac{7}{25}x-x=0$$

Combine \frac{7}{25}x and -x to get -\frac{18}{25}x.

$$96-\frac{18}{25}x=0$$

Subtract 96 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-\frac{18}{25}x=-96$$

Multiply both sides by -\frac{25}{18}, the reciprocal of -\frac{18}{25}.

$$x=-96\left(-\frac{25}{18}\right)$$

Express -96\left(-\frac{25}{18}\right) as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-96\left(-25\right)}{18}$$

Multiply -96 and -25 to get 2400.

$$x=\frac{2400}{18}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2400}{18} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 6.

$$x=\frac{400}{3}$$
