Solve x*088=300-x*105

$$x \times 088=300-x \times 105$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{20}{7} = 2\frac{6}{7} \approx 2.857142857$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 0 and 88 to get 0.

$$x\times 0=300-x\times 105$$

Anything times zero gives zero.

$$0=300-x\times 105$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$300-x\times 105=0$$

Multiply -1 and 105 to get -105.

$$300-105x=0$$

Subtract 300 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-105x=-300$$

Divide both sides by -105.

$$x=\frac{-300}{-105}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-300}{-105} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -15.

$$x=\frac{20}{7}$$
