Question 684888: Please help me solve this problem:
4x*1/5+1/R=x*5+R
I tried solving it the following way, but I'm sure if it is correct.
I added the fractions and got:
4x*R+5/5R=x*5+R
I then tried to cancel the fraction by multiplying everything by the fraction and got:
4x*R+5*5R=x*5+R*5+R
=
=
I then cancelled the xs and got:

Then I multiplied the R and 25R by 4 and got:




I am not sure If I should proceed from here because I am not sure if the working above is correct.

4x*1/5+1/R=x*5+R

Solve for what? x or R?
It's 2 variables, only 1 equation.
