Question 1001872: Hi,
Math has never been my strong suit and I've tried several online solvers and nothing makes sense to me. I'm trying to solve a problem to get coordinates for a location. The problem is:
Solve for X: (12/30)= (x/5)
N 36 57. (21 / 7)(6/3 - x) + (8.5 * 2x)(9 - 2x) + (12 / x)(3 + x - 5) + 3
W 76 31. (-21 + 23x)(2x*5) + (53.75 * x)(46x / 23) + (6 / x)(24 / 4x) - (12x / 72 - 6 / 9x)
Thanks
Bill
