x\times 90-xa=390a
Variable a cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by a.
x\times 90-xa-390a=0
Subtract 390a from both sides.
-xa-390a=-x\times 90
Subtract x\times 90 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-xa-390a=-90x
Multiply -1 and 90 to get -90.
\left(-x-390\right)a=-90x
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(-x-390\right)a}{-x-390}=-\frac{90x}{-x-390}
Divide both sides by -x-390.
a=-\frac{90x}{-x-390}
Dividing by -x-390 undoes the multiplication by -x-390.
a=\frac{90x}{x+390}
Divide -90x by -x-390.
a=\frac{90x}{x+390}\text{, }a\neq 0
Variable a cannot be equal to 0.
x\times 90-xa=390a
Multiply both sides of the equation by a.
\left(90-a\right)x=390a
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(90-a\right)x}{90-a}=\frac{390a}{90-a}
Divide both sides by 90-a.
x=\frac{390a}{90-a}
Dividing by 90-a undoes the multiplication by 90-a.
