Solve x6/7=x85/100-2

$$x \frac { 6 } { 7 } = x \frac { 85 } { 100 } - 2$$

Solve for x

$$x=-280$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{85}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x\times \frac{6}{7}=x\times \frac{17}{20}-2$$

Subtract x\times \frac{17}{20} from both sides.

$$x\times \frac{6}{7}-x\times \frac{17}{20}=-2$$

Combine x\times \frac{6}{7} and -x\times \frac{17}{20} to get \frac{1}{140}x.

$$\frac{1}{140}x=-2$$

Multiply both sides by 140, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{140}.

$$x=-2\times 140$$

Multiply -2 and 140 to get -280.

$$x=-280$$
