Solve x+x+140+(x+140)*12=2740

$$x+x+140+(x+140) \times 12=2740$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{460}{7} = 65\frac{5}{7} \approx 65.714285714$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine x and x to get 2x.

$$2x+140+\left(x+140\right)\times 12=2740$$

Use the distributive property to multiply x+140 by 12.

$$2x+140+12x+1680=2740$$

Combine 2x and 12x to get 14x.

$$14x+140+1680=2740$$

Add 140 and 1680 to get 1820.

$$14x+1820=2740$$

Subtract 1820 from both sides.

$$14x=2740-1820$$

Subtract 1820 from 2740 to get 920.

$$14x=920$$

Divide both sides by 14.

$$x=\frac{920}{14}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{920}{14} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{460}{7}$$
