56x-x\lambda =18.1
Use the distributive property to multiply x by 56-\lambda .
\left(56-\lambda \right)x=18.1
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(56-\lambda \right)x}{56-\lambda }=\frac{18.1}{56-\lambda }
Divide both sides by 56-\lambda .
x=\frac{18.1}{56-\lambda }
Dividing by 56-\lambda undoes the multiplication by 56-\lambda .
x=\frac{181}{10\left(56-\lambda \right)}
Divide 18.1 by 56-\lambda .
56x-x\lambda =18.1
Use the distributive property to multiply x by 56-\lambda .
-x\lambda =18.1-56x
Subtract 56x from both sides.
\left(-x\right)\lambda =18.1-56x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x\right)\lambda }{-x}=\frac{18.1-56x}{-x}
Divide both sides by -x.
\lambda =\frac{18.1-56x}{-x}
Dividing by -x undoes the multiplication by -x.
\lambda =56-\frac{181}{10x}
Divide 18.1-56x by -x.
