Question 163777


{{{x-2/6=36/55}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{330(x-2/cross(6))=330(36/cross(55))}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{330}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{330x-110=216}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{330x=216+110}}} Add {{{110}}} to both sides.



{{{330x=326}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(326)/(330)}}} Divide both sides by {{{330}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=163/165}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=163/165}}} which approximates to {{{x=0.988}}}.
