Solve xdiv25/8=2/7

$$x \div 2 \frac { 5 } { 8 } = \frac { 2 } { 7 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{3}{4}=0.75$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide x by \frac{2\times 8+5}{8} by multiplying x by the reciprocal of \frac{2\times 8+5}{8}.

$$\frac{x\times 8}{2\times 8+5}=\frac{2}{7}$$

Multiply 2 and 8 to get 16.

$$\frac{x\times 8}{16+5}=\frac{2}{7}$$

Add 16 and 5 to get 21.

$$\frac{x\times 8}{21}=\frac{2}{7}$$

Multiply both sides by 21.

$$x\times 8=\frac{2}{7}\times 21$$

Express \frac{2}{7}\times 21 as a single fraction.

$$x\times 8=\frac{2\times 21}{7}$$

Multiply 2 and 21 to get 42.

$$x\times 8=\frac{42}{7}$$

Divide 42 by 7 to get 6.

$$x\times 8=6$$

Divide both sides by 8.

$$x=\frac{6}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{3}{4}$$
