You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+300,000+400,000+800,000=4 3/4x
------------
Add the numbers
x + 1,500,000 = (4 3/4)x I think that's what you mean.
Subtrace x from both sides
1,500,000 = (3 3/4)x
1,500,000 = 15x/4
Multiply both sides by 4
6,000,000 = 15x
Divide by 15
x = 400,000 (miles? kilometers?)
