Solve x+(x-15/100x)=370

$$x+(x- \frac{ 15 }{ 100 } x)=370$$

Solve for x

$$x=200$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x+x-\frac{3}{20}x=370$$

Combine x and -\frac{3}{20}x to get \frac{17}{20}x.

$$x+\frac{17}{20}x=370$$

Combine x and \frac{17}{20}x to get \frac{37}{20}x.

$$\frac{37}{20}x=370$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{20}{37}, the reciprocal of \frac{37}{20}.

$$x=370\times \frac{20}{37}$$

Express 370\times \frac{20}{37} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{370\times 20}{37}$$

Multiply 370 and 20 to get 7400.

$$x=\frac{7400}{37}$$

Divide 7400 by 37 to get 200.

$$x=200$$
